Rockin' Ragtime Piano Player- Five Foot Two Eyes of Blue

Mark Chang (me) playing a funky acid jazz disco pop rock 'n roll version of the old familiar tune on a Kawai acoustic grand piano. I don't know how I would describe this beat actually, but I think it's kind of a fun and danceable rhythm. I've never played this arrangement for an audience, and never recorded it either except for this rare video. This is the debut on YouTube! Enjoy. Recorded at Batchelor Pad Heaven in Davis, CA way back in the spring of 1998. Please use this arragement only with permission. For those who are wondering, I am not a pro piano player- it's just one of many hobbies. Check my channel often to see more videos from my happier days as I find time to upload them.

Good rythym with the left hand. Good melody with the right hand. Together you've got good music with a pleasing sound. Thanks for posting this, and play more!

Nice touch: especially in giving the back beat its own identity by playing softer and releasing the pedal at the precise moment.

Now this is music. Like a one man radio. Hats off to ya!

But ya, I agree the begining was a bit creepy.

At first I thought you were creepy with the camera stare, but I gave it a chance and I really enjoyed it!  Thanks for sharing!!
