Thanks for the confirmation. I realize that is is very fundamental,which is where I am starting. When I get to comping on the right hand,there will be more jumping,like UD and Don have shown.
I am starting on Alfred's Adult Piano course. I have seen a myriad of piano courses on line,but I will hold off for now. Luckily,I have organ background,and can read both clefs,but slowly on bass as it has been awhile.

My first tendency is to play chords on LH, and even bring in my pedals with a fake book,but the voicing is so important on the chords,I have to experiment on which inversion to use,and have to guess as to using root or nearest bass.

Oh well,it is all good to use this time to learn a new skill.
