I agree, the videos above look more like the average honky tonk piano style used to play country music. Not Floyd's specific signature style or anyone's.for those of you not familiar with Floyd Cramer,
the Piano video above is not really in his style,

Miss Mississippi Dip This sequence dance had absolutely nothing to do with Mississippi and was devised in Edinburgh, Scotland, between
the wars. Popular tunes then such as 'Swanee' may well have inspired the dance.
Never heard of the Miss Mississippi Dip but it looks very similar to what we had here: the popular "Military Two Step"!They're doing it here in Dufftown:
