Hiromi Uehara... The Tom and Jerry Show. If you would like someone to remove your pants for you, it will happen if you watch that video.

Man, if anyone can turn the Danube into ragtime, it's Uslan.

Wow!!! I am sincerely envious of your talent and I think I play pretty good! P.S. I placed 8th in 1997 championship. Thanks, Allen Dale.

Ethan is fantastic! Great piano work!

I love it and wish I could do more than a measly 5 STARS!

Thanks for this video post!

Here's another tune I can't stand. I would love to see Ethan's terrific rendition of "Sweet Georgia Brown" or possibly the James P. Johnson roll transcription he played on here. He does some funny things with this waltz (which it deserves) that Spike Jones would have liked, but this has inspired me to learn Fred Fisher's "Dance of the Blue Danube", (which I find infinitely preferable) maybe for next year. It's funny though, I DO like some Strauss waltzes: "Roses From the South", etc.

I thot I would try this one again because I too love the "Dance of the Blue Danube" and also the Schulz-Evler classical transcription. And, I am fond of Uslan's "I'm Gonna Charleston Back To Charleston", especially the one on his CD, and other Uslan arrangements. However, his arrangement here of "The Blue Danube Waltz" is not going into my "Keepers".. The playing is superb, of course.

Check out the Ampico roll, its very good.

I'm so glad they chose this one to put on youtube! It was AMAZING!!

[ragtimist]

It is so nice to hear an original arrangement instead of someone playing something they got from Big Tiny Little or Jo Ann Castle.

[KawhackitaRag]

hear hear!

Fine work!
