"BACH UP TO ME" ~ Brian Holland @ Blind Boone Rag/Jazz Festival ~ June 2007

[CRV1958]

To the person who commented negatively on Church and people that attend. My boy, when your at your last breath, I sincerely hope, you have a better view than this and have met the only hope you have, otherwise, better get an Asbestos Suit, and I am sure it wont help.

May God open your Eyes.

@CRV1958

Your point is utter hogwash suitable for consumption only by gullible suckers.

All of Theology is simply a waste of time and thought.

Merry Christmas,

I just went to a black church for the first time and Ive noticed a lot of the music they sing sounds very similar to most of stride and ragtime pieces I've heard..It's very interesting.

You can save lots of time and money if you just buy the CD's of some of these performers rather than wasting your money in a collection plate at church. Church is a bad influence on people, and causes major disturbances in the psycho epistemology of all individuals that attend.

Thanks for your nice comment above.

"I would not for my life destroy one star of human hope, but I want it so that when a poor woman rocks the cradle and sings a lullaby to the dimpled darling, she will not be compelled to believe that ninety-nine chances in a hundred she is raising kindling wood for hell." ~ Robert Ingersoll

@tdub1941 And I would not for my life destroy the one chance they have of getting out of Hell. If hell does exist, being optimistic about it or ignoring it won't help anything, only trust in Jesus Christ will.

I always considered that The Tooth Fairy was considerably more generous to me than JC.

I'll go with her since I never did have much trust in guys wearing robes, and giving sermons on mountain tops.

Lewislu.What do yu mean,I am English and am absolutely begeistert von dieser Musik.I find it out of this world;a dazzling display of virtuosity on this most difficult of instruments.I am hopping as I write this.I don't of course,know about the rest of GB;who cares-this music is the real McCoy!

[Squarerig]

This is phenomenal!But,how does the piano take it?It must be in dire need of repair after this scorching performance..Truly amazing!

[Nudgie68]

WOW, that was awesome!!! I've watched a few videos of him playing and they are all amazing!

[tdub1941]

Hi Nudgie68!

I'll be enjoying Brian's piano playing a month from now in Sedalia, Missouri at the Scott Joplin Ragtime festival.

^"accepting" i meant :)

[lewisluu]

would have expected this to have at least 50,000 views by now, and it deserves more!

i like Mr Holland's version best, it sounds way more energetic and "comedic" than the other performances of this piece.

shame on the general UK for not "liking/excepting" this style of music

[tdub1941]

Thanks for your enthusiastic approval of Mr. Holland's piano music!

I know he takes a peek at these comments now and then and I'll betcha he likes this one!

Thanks for watching.
