Steve Spracklen from the American Queen Riverboat

Here Steve Spracklen is playing "House of Lords Rag", composed by his mentor, the fabulous Bob Darch. The late Darch was the very best ragtime revivalist and Steve is undoubtedly his worthy successor!

Steve performed a concert of wonderful Ragtime and early 20th century music in Kansas City on 2/15/08. He is a great piano player and all round performer, and performs regularly on the American Queen River Boat that cruises up and down the Mississippi River.

The poor old upright piano Steve played in this video lends an antique quality to the music he was playing.
