Seeing as I consider myself a ragtime pianist, I couldn't not at least try to play this, after I heard it on one of Billy Joel's albums. I think this is quite a valiant attempt, if I do say so myself. It took me nine takes to get it to a standard I feel happyish with, so my hands are already killing me by this time. Be nice :) I know there are mistakes!! I may upload a more practiced version at a later date, but I may not be in a position to record videos in a few weeks' time; I am going to university!!

  • I first heard the dallas brass perc. play this on the xylophone and immediately loved the song

  • epic good

    

  • you look so bored doing this.. can't belive it's so easy for you.. i am soo jalous! you have no idea how much i'd like to play like you do..

  • This took "only" 9 takes? This is one of the best on youtube. Most people try to play the hard parts slow and the easy parts fast, or miss half the notes because they are trying to go so fast etc. You aren't even using sheet music!

  • WOW...wish I could play like this...... ;)
