Steve can really get the music out of that piano. Looks and sounds like a lot of fun. I have to watch this video now and then - it really gets a person's spirits up.
I really enjoy listening to this medley. Thanks to you I have enjoyed a lot of rags, stride piano and other music on the internet. I especially enjoy listening to Frederick Hodges and Adam Swanson playing the piano. Adam has really done well for his age - and I don't think Frederick can be surpassed by anyone. I certainly appreciate your taking these videos and putting them on YouTube.
It shouldn't have to be said, but there probably are many younger folk out there who don't know these tunes, so I will: This is a medley of just some of the hit songs composed by Percy Wenrich. They are "Put on Your Old Grey Bonnet", "When You Wore a Tulip and I Wore a Big Red Rose", "On Moonlight Bay" and "Red Rose Rag" -- all four of these composed between 1909 and 1914.

Dear Ida,
This is absolute and positive proof that talent is not required to get up on the Big Stage. You just have to be noisy!
Thanks for all of the stars, but you probably should refrain from encouraging me. I probably ought to have some kind of therapy.
Toodles,
