haha, a ragtime interlude for a bar song! How appropriate for the Skunk Hollow after hours party....gads I need to work on my sight reading skills, but had I been there, I would have joined the choir anyways.
@ciararavenblaze Nah, it's pretty bad. I can't sing quietly. If I really belt something out, I do much better -- but still not very good. I was only trying to get others to sing it.
Boy, I wish I could sight read like that, or even half as well. My mother could do that: when she was 70 years old I sat her down at the piano with Joplin's Magnetic Rag, a piece she'd never heard, and she played it flawlessly, first try, sounded like Dick Hyman. Then she did the same with The Russian Rag (Which she identified as the Prelude in C# Minor, which she then played by memory, the last time being 50 years before). Then her fingers got tired.
AAAHHHHHH!!!! I have been looking for the original sheet music for this song for soooooooo long!!! Does ANYONE know where to get it?? I play the piano and my Dad and I love this song and if someone showed me where to get the sheet music I would be so happy!!!!!!!!!!
Tom is such a beast. I've listened to his song Balderdash almost constantly for two days now. I've only been playing the piano since November, and so ragtime is too inaccessible to me with my current ability (or lack of), but let him know that one day he'll have some competition!
This is the first video I've ever seen on youtube that has zero dislikes. Tom is fantastic!

the singing isn't that bad--what little of it I could hear, anyway, as Tom's epic piano-ery drowned most of it out. :D

@Keeper1st maybe so, but I've heard worse--be glad you're not Mark Gormley. XD

Remember when TV show themes had more than one verse? (besides, say, Animaniacs)

Beautiful, especially love the diminuendo into the arpegio at the end.

"Back in the '80s and early '90s, when she wanted to know the lyrics to a song, she would buy the sheet music".
