I like the red color!

You're a very talented ragtime player! Keep up the good work.

I only have one other recording from a year ago of Maple Leaf Rag. But it is not so good, as I get nervous when I make a recording. But I will post it soon. After hearing your playing, I have renewed interest in Ragtime and I especially want to play The Strenuous Life but I'm afraid I might copy some of your style which I admire very much. So I apologise in advance! I have injured a finger joint which is taking a long time to heal but I hope to make more recordings soon. Thank you for the kind compliment, but I know I have to improve and try to be more relaxed Best wishes to you

cool

Thanks for your nice comment on my channel!
This collection has been a labor of love since I started posting videos in October of 2006. I'm almost at 2,000 videos. Looking forward to getting more to post from the Blind Boone Ratime & Early Jazz Festival and the International Scott Joplin Ragtime Festival in Early June. Keep your eyes open ! ;-)

Great playing, I love Joplin! Check out my Solace!

Thank you for you kind words a few weeks ago about my playing of The Strenuous Life. I have listened to all your youtube postings, and have enjoyed them all very much. You are a wonderful pianist. I particularly like your use of rubato in playing this piece and other Joplin pieces as well. You play most expressively. I hope you continue with your music and share more of it on youtube.
