[Squarerig]

Where was the stalwart,the loyal Thane fo JAZZ/RAGTIME Tdub41 during this magnificent performance? How envious I am of those able to attend these rare events.

I know there are a few flubs here and there, but I don't think this is too bad! If you think that was fun to watch...it was 10 times as much fun to play! Thanks Ron!

What a fun song! I wish I play that (but I couldn't play both parts at the same time!)

[theragtimefan]

There would be no one to accompany me, and I don't know how hard it would be for me. It's very likely that it would be to hard.

It is difficult to hear the other piano in a duet, indeed (and I have difficulty keeping an even tempo on most things that I can fumble through). But if you can keep an even tempo, you can just play straight and let one of these guys do the embellishing. Once, during a three-piano performance of Maple Leaf, I sat down and joined in on the fourth piano that was in the room. That was OK; I couldn't hear MYSELF in that case! In those days (early 1990s), I actually could play Maple Leaf rather well.

[theragtimefan]

Well I bet you still can.

[Keeper1st]

ehhhh, nope. Flubs everywhere, and only can even attempt to play it straight. I used to go an octave high in the right hand and an octave low on the bass notes, and a few little embellishments here and there... Not anymore. I'm just too out of practice.

[theragtimefan]

That's too bad...well I love the piano salad!
