Johnny Maddox plays his own "Friday Night Stomp" live at Il Porto Ristorante in Alexandria, Virginia - 1985. The tune is based on two of his favorite songs from when he was a kid, "The Stones Rag" and "Ragtime Annie." "The Stones Rag" was also recorded by Bob Wills & His Texas Playboys as "Lone Star Rag."
This guy is incredible. I met him briefly and saw him play @ Diamond Belle in Durango this week and sure wish I had more time to talk to him. What a great career.. too bad he doesn't have better venues because he sure does deserve it. Although it sure is cool to have authentic 'western' type music at the Strator hotel.

I love this... Here's some sad news my favorite piano got wet in a big windstorm and we can't even get in the building. So the best upright piano I've come a crossed is now ruined :(

*sigh* Overcome by memories of upstairs at Il Porto in the 1980s. So glad to have seen him "IRL." What a talent!

This video makes me want to order a pizza. This reminds me of when I was playing at Shakey's Pizza Parlor back in the 80's.
