From Italian toccare, "to touch," a toccata is a virtuoso piece of music featuring lightly fingered, fast moving passages, generally emphasizing the dexterity of the performer's fingers.*
Widor's Toccata is a long time favorite of ours. Listening to the fury of an extremely talented organist power through this masterpiece, you get a good idea of what a grand pipe organ is capable of. Also, if you're like us, you get goosebumps. Every single time.
Tucker's "Tuckata" may not be lightly fingered, and it may not give you goosebumps. But his music touches us... he's played right into our hearts, making them swell just big enough to bump up the corners of our mouths.

You say "toccata," I say "toccata."
You say "tomato," I say "tomato."

He did the "mash"....

Grandma Sandy just texted me, "Bar hopping at Dallas airport." This may lead to a Poppy John update.
Bravo, Tucker! Encore (and encore, and encore... you know me and these videos...)
Loved the video!
Andy & Jenni,
I have not responded to your blog as yet because any words of mine would be inadequate in response to your eloquence. This video however prompted me to break my silence. It is too, too cute...priceless and precious. My best thoughts and prayers to all.
Widor's Toccata is one of our favorites but we enjoyed the Tuckata as well:)
