[allendale1962]

Not at the moment.

[curlybro7]

Cool!!!

[allendale1962]

Thanks.

[Dan474834]

Peacherine rag*

Sorry :)

[allendale1962]

I am sorry but I can not play the Peacherine Rag.

[Dan474834]

Great performance as always Allen.

I have a request for you: Peacharine rag by Scott Joplin.

It's a tune that would most likely be incredible with your quality arrangements.

Maybe you could check out the song, and tell me what you think?

[TigeragainstHg]

Amazing job! Very talented!

[allendale1962]

Thanks.

[The13thDoctor95]

Absolutley OUTSTANDING pianist i must say Well done sir!

[allendale1962]

Thank you.

[GiddingsClassOf2014]

I love upright pianos. Grand pianos are too classical. I like the homey sounding pianos. With that old, warm touch.

[allendale1962]

thanks.

[jamjamsterjiggidyjay]

nice interpretation! very well done!! * * * * *

[allendale1962]

Thank you.

[wayneLL99]

This song makes me so happy! Just as i said, your such a great great pianist! I should learn this saloon kind of music!! Are you always learning by ear?

[allendale1962]

Thank you, and YES I always learn by ear.

[Winterstick549]

Do you find that ragtime sounds better on a wall piano rather than a grand, or baby grand? Just curious.

[allendale1962]

My favorite is the OLD Tall upright pianos.

[HaloC7]

whr u get this song sheet ?

u so good alen dale

keep it up

[joomuck]

It is hard to hear ragtime today, let alone an artist who can really play. Great stuff; unfortunately, I never see any CD's that you might have out there. At anyrate, you play with such verve and force.

Thanks for the posting.

[allendale1962]

thanks

[wiebenjijzeg]

cool :D

we had to play this song on school.

well.. it was the most easy version you can think of by this song and was only like 30 seconds long xD

it was sooo boring to learn ..

but the original version you played is coool :D:D

keep up te good workd ^.^v

[allendale1962]

Allen: My wholehearted admiration from Guayaquil, Ecuador, South America. I am a 70 y.o Ecuadorian who has lived here in Ecuador for the past 45 years, but I spent fifteen of my young years in Tennessee, Georgia, northern Florida, Minnesota and Wisconsin. Your ragtime piano playing is out of this world. My wife and I have enjoyed every single one of your Youtube presentations. M veryy best to you and may God bless you, Jose

[allendale1962]

Thanks for being a fan! God bless you and your wife, Jose. Sincerely, Allen Dale.

[Gabbiez15]

Your piano playing is soooooo cool man. I live in New Zealand and its not something that my generation knows exists. My mum said that its something my grandad use to play but ive never had the oppotunity to hear it. Keep posting the videos man they are so captivating, you are very talented. You cant really find someone playing ragtime in New Zealand.

[allendale1962]

thanks.

[TerraFulton]

Thanks for putting this on the internet. My eight year old daughter is taking piano lessons. And didn't know what rag time piano was all about. I remember step mom played rag at "Bucket of Blood salon" in Vergina city about twenty five years ago. Brings back some wonderful memories.

[allendale1962]

thanks

[KingNelis]

Dude i just love your songs ! Please keep posting video's you are an amazing piano player.

[allendale1962]

You are a genius and gentleman briging good old songs and melodies to myself (59) and my parents who are 82 and 84. Thank you so much.

[allendale1962]

Thanks, and you are welcome!

[luv2dogz]

did you learn the basic melody by using sheet music, then make it all your own? I know you won't share your secrets, but I do admire this version...

[allendale1962]

I heard the song in my head and that is how I play songs.

[luv2dogz]

I am not too sure about that, but thanks for your confidence. I just wrote a song tonight.... :) so thanks for your inspiration.

[luv2dogz]

You are very talented.

I too play piano, I wish I was that good though.

I've been playing for.... since 2nd grade and now I am in college. :)

Keep it up

[allendale1962]

You keep it up too, and someday you will surpass me.

[allendale1962]
