Moonstone Rag (Rudolf B. Radna) sight-read by Tom Brier

[Harmonyww]

What was Tom's overall conclusion on this tune? I couldn't judge his reaction. I thought it was great though. Mr. Radna sure is a talented composer.

[Keeper1st]

@Harmonyww You can tell from his head nod that he liked it. He does like tunes that have "interesting twists and turns" too -- at least when they sound good.

That's not the pedal squeaking, it's the little asian man you have hiding behind the piano! "Waat chu doing ova dare!?" Lol sorry I just finished watching American dad.

[kukimiyo]

Did I sense a squeaky pedal? Or something else in the background lol. If it's a squeaky pedal I sympathise, I feel like murdering mine sometimes xD

[Keeper1st]

@kukimiyo Yeah, the poor piano had been played all day long. The sustain was squeaking by the end of the night here.

Can Tom play other styles of music besides ragtime or is that his specialty?

[Keeper1st]

@Bluelightning110188 Certainly he can, but ragtime is his specialty. Plus, these videos are shot at ragtime events, so...

[kittyhumor]

Awesome. He should try the Yoshi's Island ending theme.

[LolAtYou2ube]

@kittyhumor lmao thats a lullaby!

[mcgyvr2009i]

@LolAtYou2ube What's a lullaby? The Yoshi's Island ending theme? No it's not. It is a theme song for the video game Yoshi's Island. Is the Super Mario World Underwater Theme Song a lullaby? No. It is an underwater theme song. What about the athletic level in super mario world? No. It is a theme song. Anything with the word "Theme" or "Theme Song" or is an opening to a TV series or even the background music to a video game is a theme song.

HOW DO YOU SIGHT READ SO FAST????

[Keeper1st]

@TheFishSnacks Fast? This is a slow tune; check out his sight-read of Rudolf's "Tuxedo Vegas" for something fast. I know what you mean though! Sight-reading this well at ANY speed, really...!
