Please see the comments from KawhackitaRag for information about the music played in this video.
Such a great time we all had at the West Coast Ragtime Festival this year. I sure hope you can come and enjoy the fun next year!

This is the 2nd video of the exciting music we enjoyed on the last evening of the festival during the dinner party on Sunday night 11-18-07. There were several great piano performers enjoying the occasion and entertaining the crowd until the wee hours of the morning. Like a bunch of kids, we just couldn't drag ourselves away from the fun just to go to bed.

Please visit the websites above for information about the festival, these performers, and their CD's.

  • Bravo! More, more!  What a trio of amazing musicians. They make it look so easy.

  • Aw shucks it is easy, except that I can't do it!

  • It was a great jam session. You gotta post the bit where Tom and Adam played Maple Leaf Rag in B major -- perhaps the most difficult key in which to play it!

  • Ron,

    I don't think that I recorded that one, but as I go through all of the tapes if it shows up somewhere I'll post it.

    Tom

  • I'm pretty sure I saw you recording it... I would have, otherwise!

  • Okee dokee. I promise to post it if and when I find it.

    Thanks for your kind comments!

    Tom

  • They start off with "The Birds' Carnival" by Zez Confrey, 1936. At 3:09 is "Hot Cinders" by Joseph Lamb (probably composed c. 1930 but not published until 1964). At 5:29 is "Mo'lasses" a pop song by Luckey Roberts and Alex Rogers, as played by Luckey himself on QRS word roll 2306 (August, 1923). A recut of this excellent roll is available from BluesTone music rolls.
