@Skull951 If someone can play this better I too would like to hear it!! I feel that this performance stands head and shoulders above all others I've heard to date! Not only that, this guy can play nearly every Joplin piece if not all of them!

I agree that this is maybe the best interpretation, compared f.e. with the Bach Scholar, sorry, but:

.... your girlfriend plays it better? Let us give a proove, skully

i like Kirby's interpretation of this rag (cakewalk) very much! he is true to the score and tempo (says 'slow') and doesnt get carried away with improvizations. the only thing i dont like are the glisandos, but thats easily overlooked. LOVE the little tripelets he plays at the end of the D section (even adding an Ab to make the last one a dom7 chord and moves into the Eb measure really well!) and have incorporated that into my playing of it from time to time. Joplin and Marshall would like it!

really good, although the keyboard swipes at 0:56 and 2:06 felt really contrived and really out of place.

This is classy, feel good music. Its certainly not simple by technical means, but there's a certain "common sensical" way the music flows...it just feels natural. Awesome!

[danmessias]

Best interpretation of all!

I love this piece!
