What was the song at 410 by Mark Allen Jones titled? I know it but, not the name.

[Keeper1st]

@minnescanada It's two different tunes. He's demonstrating that Roy Orbison's "Blue Bayou" was really just a semi-plagiarized version of Scott Joplin's "Solace". So he plays one and then the other for comparison.

[Keeper1st]

"A Rag-Time Nightmare" by Tom Turpin.

yay! i see tom brier!

[Keeper1st]

He's in there twice in this part. He's also seen playing with some folks a couple times in the Part 2 video. He's a popular guy for duets and impromptu jamming.

I think we should have a 2011 update!  Its interesting to look back at this and see how much the festival has changed.. Just a thought. -Will.

Does anybody know the song Dan Grinstead's playing ?

[sutterchip]

Sophie Rivard was the big find for me this year; she's terrific! Her CD with Frank French is one of my travelers between Northern and Southern California.

@Keeper1st Thanks I did recognize Blue Bayou, which he also did nicely, but I did not know that it was inspired by Solace, interesting.

It's great to see people enjoying a good time with this fun music!
