Awful? I thought it was damn good. I remember thoroughly enjoying a video of John Reed-Torres playing the Sugar Cane rag on YouTube too. Good to see more of him playing.
@ChewTobaccoRag Yes, this was the first thing played during the dinner. There also was a video monitor up showing clips from past festivals, in honor of the 25th anniversary. On it there was a rare glimpse of the Pre-Beard Brier!
@Keeper1st Heh, now I wish I'd stood on the outskirts of the dinner area and peered in like a hungry beggar to watch more piano. With the main after hours lounge area being occupied by Other Instruments a lot of the time (still very good of course), by the end, I felt like I was still missing out on some two-piano action. Apparently it just happened after I left!
As for Beardless Brier, maybe I'm glad I didn't see that. Don't need the image shattered. :)
@Keeper1st Ack, I thought people there just weren't into the late nights or something. At the previous festivals I went to, Saturday night was always the really late night, things had mostly died out by Sunday. Well, lesson for next time I guess. Will just have to experience it vicariously through whatever videos you post.
@ChewTobaccoRag The later hours were mostly cases of trying to remember songs, or singing some decidedly un-PC songs (e.g. Jelly Roll Morton's notorious "Your mammy ain't got no drawers!" song), so there's no video of that. I should have recorded Adam when he played Tom's "Over the Top" for Tom. There's already a video of him playing it, but I should have gotten that anyway. Adam turned and asked if I wanted to record it. Now I regret that I didn't. Anyway, a video list is on my Facebook notes.
@CmndrRiker Uhhh, I doubt that! But I did have Tom Brier record a video of me playing the 9-foot concert grand, mistakes and all. It will be posted probably sooner rather than later. Maybe tomorrow, even...
Ugh. People in background need to shut the fuck up.

Which reminds me... I don't suppose you've managed to record Tom playing Joplin's Sugar Cane rag yet?

@Harmonyww No, but I did get video of John playing it, and he does it good justice!

I tried to reach your channel to check whether you could do better and found your channel cancelled. Probably you were ashamed meanwhile?
Best regards

Was this during dinner on the last day? I didn't get a ticket in time, sad I missed it.

@ChewTobaccoRag And once the people are done eating and people begin trickling out, the dinner area is opened up anyway. We were there until 3 a.m.
