Eubie was the best. While the turn of the last century produced many great ragtime composers, few were as accomplished at the piano as Eubie. His compositions were difficult to play properly, lots of jumps and complex bass structure. As he once said in an interview, my music was never popular with the five and dime girls, refering to the days when a pianist was on employ by a dime store to play the popular sheet music for a prospective customer.
Truly a national treasure and a gentleman.

I was lucky my husband taped this off TV on his old beta machine. Don't know if you knew this or have heard it but a collector told me a guy named Tom Stewart recorded hundreds of hours of jazz live at clubs and off the radio on a wire recorder and his kids threw them all out after he died because they had no way to play them. The guys wire recorder had broken and he he threw it out years ago but he kept all the wire spools. He had live recordings of Louis, Duke, Basie no one else had..

I never met Eubie, but he was in the audience for an early '70s performance of Joplin's Treemonisha in DC. Got up on stage & did a little dance. (He was only 88 at the time). One of the alltime greats--thanks for posting~

I like the postage stamp the U.S. postal service issued with Eubie on it. An American musical legend of the Ragtime and 1920's Broadway show Shuffle Along he belonged on a U.S. stamp I think.
