About how long would you say it took for your to learn Bink's Waltz? It took me approximately 3 weeks to learn the song note for note (like I said it was by far the easiest one of Joplin's rags I ever learned), but it took me years to perfect it. 18 years later I still struggle sometimes. Anyway, very good performance. Keep practicing away, and before you know it you'll be amazing yourself with how well you can polish it.
Sam, excellent job man! I first learned to play this song when I was 13 years old as well. In fact, it was probably the EASIEST one of Joplin's rags I ever learned to play. I think your interpretation is done very well too. Most people either play it with a uniform slow tempo, or they just play it like it was a heavy metal piece or something. Bink's Waltz was intended to be played with a varying tempo throughout the whole song which you did nicely.
