Last of the Ragtime Pioneers

Well played sir.

This is one of my favorite Galen Wilkes compositions; you have such a relaxed feel for the music; thanks, Monty.

I'm glad you were inspired by Mimi Blais, and that Danny Matson, that wonderful patron of the arts, bought the sheet music for you; it's a gorgeous piece. Mimi inspired me with her Golden Hours by Max Morath and I learned it like you did, a little sheet music (which I bought), some of my own ideas, and much encouragement from Mimi.

As usual, just great stuff. Thanks for brightening the day!

I am glad you like my interpretation of this lovely piece. I had a small spate of uploads following the purchase of a new video camera, (instead of using the compromise of videoing from a normal digital camera).  I hope you approve of some of the other postings too, especially my own composition

Monty, you've nailed it!

It's a wrenchingly beautiful piece, and I love how easy-to-play you make it look :)

[showersinger547]

You're just brilliant.

(love that you have a sense of humor about your hair or lack thereof.)

monty you're the man!!! Glad to be hearing some of your piano once again. I disagree with your choice of headwear though... what's that?

[montysuffern]

Ah MortiCarthago - the trials and tribulations of having a bald head and wanting to video from above the piano
