I'm Gonna Charleston Back To Charleston - Ethan Uslan

[mikelagaffe]

Feels like entering a saloon,asking for a shot of old whiskey,then someone starts a brawl next to a poker table...good old times

[21605c]

Great playing but the first link doesnt work?

[luciddreamer124]

[joshster89]

[DavidAndAaron37]

I wish I was born in the 1800's Or at least 1912 :/ So I could enjoy the good ol' ragtime music that just makes me wanna dance!!

[tintlio]

[Onduriel]

Wheres a good old winchester when you need one? XD

[NIN992]

Oh my god this is hilarious, this is the first time I've stumbled upon the niche that is ragtime piano, and I just had no idea it existed on youtube and I can just imagine you people with monocles and top hats typing away at your computers. no but this is pretty awesome. I love classic stuff. Good is good, no matter from what era.

[tan73h]

cute!

[Dylanhennessy]

As a rock/metal musician, I must say that I actually very much enjoy ragtime, and I'm quite surprised that I enjoy it so much. This is the first day that I've really began to enjoy it. This is a great cometition, and a great peice.

[YouTransistor99]

Rock & metal musicians improvise and create new sounds and effects. It takes talent to play those genres well.

Rag time was a different style with odd rhythms and to the purist it was probaball sacriligeous to play a piano in that way.

As for Ragtime, I love it. While metal is not my favorite there are several metal pieces that I enjoy and Wizards in Winter by the Trans Siberian Orchestra is a favorite.

[warvad]

@Dylanhennessy well rock/metal sucks, it's no surprise you enjoy actual quality

[nashartboy]

that really is quite spectacular. where was this held?

[doofyee]

Peoria, IL. It's in the video info ;-)

[cellosaremetal]

[iplayragtimepiano]

I collect(and play)ragtime songs.so it will help alot if u know how...

[allendale1962]

You absolutely bow me out of the water! I was 8th in the contest in 1997. I am on youtube as allendale1962.

[winonaaah]

i dont know why but when i listen to it i always think about big bottle o good whiskey ;]

[gapifirst]

love it. love it.

[hotsickle]

He sounds like the reincarnation of George Gershwin. That's great! Glad to see someone able to master the true sound of the 20's.

[DrJobs]

I love it;How can i download a old time piano partiture?

I tryied,but i didn't find anything...

[KawhackitaRag]

"partiture"? what does that word mean?

[DrJobs]

i'm sorry...piano score

[KawhackitaRag]

You can find a lot of old ragtime and ragtime-era piano music on Ted Tjaden's "Classic Ragtime Piano" website. Google it. Sorry, there's nothing post-1922, because everything from 1923 and later is still under copyright (probably including this song). If you want the music to this song, ask Ethan or find it on Ebay.

[DrJobs]

thx

[TheColoradoan]

A well deserved 1st...this one is going straight into my faves.

[lazaryjczyk]

great

[Morahman7vnNo2]

Man, Where Can I Get A Upright Piano Like That!?

[richsolomon]

That man looks like Ethan Uslan.....any relation?

[rtpress]

Probably... check out his page on CD Baby

[Keeper1st]

Eytan has very recently changed his "stage name" to Ethan, because too many people were having difficulty pronouncing "Eytan".

[Keeper1st]

I believe his first use of the name Ethan was in October 2007 when he performed on A Prairie Home Companion.

[JewishRage]

Great playing!

[cheaprelative]

Wonderful! The background and manner of dress make it even better.

[ManganeseMan]

Phenominal!

[amdubin]

Fantabulous!

[egrosz]

I love it!

[GeneralBT]

I think making the piano sing is an understatement... that was amazing. :)

[MrBooyah314]

It sounded as if part of the melody was missing:/

But what was played was played fantasticaly.

[davortho10]

Very cool, another one of my favorite songs. The illustration on the sheet music is really fun too.

[migrated]

he deserved that, he is also wearing clothes that match the surroundings, he looks from those times.

[Keeper1st]

Wearing period clothes is a requirement of that competition.

[Shackamaxon]

Very nice! Whats the name of this tune? Who is it by?

[davortho10]

"I'm Gonna Charleston back to Charleston"

[KarrotKun1]

Wow he really made the piano sing :)
