K.K. Ragtime けけラグタイム Animal Crossing どうぶつの森 played by ragtime band

Just after their set Saturday night at the 2008 West Coast Ragtime Festival, the Raspberry Jam Band played K.K. Ragtime to start off the after-hours jam session.

They are joined by a gutbucket bass. I even do a little K.K. vocal for a moment. At the end, it sounds like someone is joining in perhaps on a muted cornet or something. If that's true, then I think that would be Bill Mason of the St Louis Ragtimers; I seem to recall that he did get up on stage with them moments later.

Performers you see here:

Piano -- Tom Brier
Gutbucket -- Allen Rogers
Tuba -- Mark Meeker
Slide whistle & Violin -- Mary Preston
Piccolo -- Julia Riley
Euphonium -- George Preston
Washboard -- Kitty Wilson

Of course, K.K. Ragtime is from the Nintendo Animal Crossing series of video games, composed by Kazumi Totaka.

You can get the sheet music that I made here:

And a couple other tunes from AC that I've made piano scores for (I never did upload The Roost theme, but you can see that in another video):

So is this strictly a Ragtime band? Or do they make acceptions?

@ronniegranillo Ragtime and other popular music from the early 20th century, or contemporary compositions in those styles.

You guys are absolutely amazing.

I really hope you do an improv of a Zelda song...I really do. It'd be ghdtfkjshynjfmkgn awesome

[Keeper1st]

@CaptainDarthy I have three videos up now of their pianist, Tom Brier, improvising on Zelda themes.

[Keeper1st]

That was me. I couldn't quite remember the right "words" though. I'll have to work on that for next time!

[legomaniac1128]

What he said! Five billion stars with a sing dog strumming the guitar on top!!!!

[elisepoetry1603]

Love it! 

[CalamityECoyote]

I'd love to hear this be played on a honky tonk piano

[neon854]

It's thought provoking that it actually sounds much better when Tom does the job on his own!

[scottydawg1234567]
