I admire your touch to ragtime.

Sue Keller just won an award yesterday for her contributions to popularizing ragtime.

Sue is OK, but listen to the late John Arpin's version to get the message.

I liked this speed, it was slow enough to hear and enjoy every note, but fast enough to keep it going.

[CooCurrent]

@pianomike1 yeah, also Bohemia rag, Sue mentioned John Arpin when she performed it a while back, but personally I can't decide which is better, I love them both, one isn't 'better' than the other, they're just 'different' if you know what I mean, two different styles but to me they both sound brilliant in their own way.

I want to this music. How can i have sheet music?

[juhyung1990]

Sue indeed plays this piece quite a bit differently than the composer did. I've updated the info block on this video to include a link for those interested in hearing how Joe Lamb actually played it.

[iwitchhunter]

it's interesting how differently ragtime tunes are interpreted from one player to the next.

Amazing.
