Absolutely fantastic playing! Nice to know there's still good ragtime pianists out there. Perhaps you can have a go at the Russ Conway back catalogue? Is there anywhere we can have the chance to watch you play live? - Ukeking, Wiltshire
Micheal, you really "Tickle the Ivories!" Noted this posting was at least three years old. Hope you are still around,doing well, and performing somehwere. Would love to see you live. Thanks for bringing this "old" music so joyfully played to Seniors like me, Al, in Georgia, USA
Michael, I always thought you broadcast from Australia, but I've just discovered you are from Oxfordshire. I'm from Essex - on a quiet day I could probably almost hear you play live! Keep these terrific Winnie numbers rolling - you have a fantastic ear for her style.
This was the last UK 78 rpm issued by Winnie on Decca - and the one I need to complete my collection! Interestingly, Winnie recorded it a few years later for CBS as part of the "Two Sides Of..." LP, but this time entitled "Happy Event".
I have always been a fan of rag time music since I was 12, and now I am 55 and stil love it, and glad it's stil alive. This is real music.......thanks for sharing Mike, you have great talent. I am a 55 yo man in Michigan, and would love to hear you play in concert....
Another splendid rendition. Keep them coming. This one was completely new to me, I enjoyed a lot of rag time in the 50's, but it is just as pleasurable to come across a new gem in the next century. Many thanks.
Hi, this is SUPER as always and I'm so happy to see you again with a new fabulous number of "Winny the Great", but I think we can speak of " The Great king of the keyboard" too, don't we??
Excellent - Winnie Atwell would have been proud! It's great that you're keeping this style of music alive. Judging by the many positive comments on here I think a CD would be very well received. Keep up the good work!
What a great way to start out my day, so energizing to hear you play. Was thrilled when I saw you had a video up! Don't stay gone so long. Your talent is amazing!
