I recall the old sailors' song,On the Banks fo the Sacramento!NO wonder they jumped ship if they were playing music of this quality.Thanks to you,Tom-as ever!
From a foot-tapping JAZZ maniac in GB go out his thanks to Tom and all the performers who have made these festivals such a success.I salute you all.Tom for Emperor of Jazz-who will say nay?Wonderful music!!
As always, this finale tune played by the Porcupine Ragtime Ensemble (with guests), is Porcupine Rag by Charles L. Johnson. It's played at a bit of a quicker tempo than they did last year! I missed the finale concert entirely this year, as I was attending the impromptu second half of Brad Kay's seminar on the men who influenced George Gershwin, and the revelation of the only known recording of Luckey Roberts' voice.
Yes, I would love to have taken in Brad's seminar also, but the Ragtime dancing won out this time. I'm glad you get to see a bit of this since you can't be in two places at the same time. I have the same problem!
Yeah, I didn't see much of the bands this year, but I know you love the dancers, so I'm sure I'll see plenty of it on your videos! As I write this, I am uploading the Raspberry Jam Band's performance of my "Tattle-Tale Rag" though. I wouldn't have missed that for the world! What a thrill to hear my music played by a band, and to see people dancing to it!
