Bruce Springsteen, "Thunder Road", piano cover

Hello, all! This is Michael Arrom. I've been waiting a long time to perform this song. Finally got around to doing this. Special thanks to "Born in the 60's" from Denver for the extra little nudge to get this done! Thanks for all the support from friends requesting this. Hope you enjoy!

I'm a Jersey boy at heart, making my way in the LA music world. After 20+ years of musical training at the piano, it seems that my piano skills are no longer so important. The current music business seems to have more use for my music production skills at the computer. I keep very busy in LA as a music professor at USC and as a session and touring player. I love what I do, but there is something so very special about the work of Bruce Springsteen. Every time I return home to visit my New Jersey family, I find inspiration to interpret another piece by Springsteen. Doing these songs helps release a bit of the energy that doesn't get used while working on a Logic music session.

There are so many things to love about Bruce's music. One of my favorite is his incredible ability to paint word pictures of places and times. My California journey allowed me the opportunity to meet and play music for T.C. Boyle. Seeing the literary kinship between T.C. and Bruce helped deepen my appreciation of the lyrics and to enjoy the vivid movies in my mind created by their work. I've been wanting to visit Thunder Road for a while.

A note for people asking.. I don't have the sheet music :) I play by ear with decent relative pitch (I don't have perfect pitch).
