Song Title: "Puttin' On The Ritz"

Such a great time we all had at the Annual West Coast Ragtime Festival this year. I sure hope you can come and enjoy the fun next year!

This is the 5th 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, the performers, and their CD's.

Wow, that many? Can't even imagine trying to find that much free time so I can watch 'em all... sigh. Marty and Virginiaa were where last night?? Love seeing them perform as the Crown Syncopators with Sir Frederick.

@MizTeaparty -Marty & Virginia were here in Kansas City on Monday evening with a cabaret style concert at Californo's restaurant in the Olde Westport section of Kansas City. They were wonderful all by themselves and didn't require any help from royalty. hehe

Hello tdub, just discovered this 2007 video of yours! Terrific stuff of Alex H. and Frederick H. Thanks for making it available to us to enjoy.

Dear MizTeaparty,

There are a total of 1702 videos in my collection. You have lots of catching up to do!

I just got a bunch of video of Marty & Virginia last night & I hope to post a few numbers from the concert in the next few days.

BEST!

I play in a light music orchestra here in Victoria, BC (the Palm Court Orchestra) and Frederick was supposed to be our guest soloist this week (he performed with us last season). Unfortunately, he could not make the engagement, and Alex performed with us instead. We lucked out having both these fine musicians in the course of a year! What a treat...if you ever get a chance to hear either of these guys live, run...don't walk! You won't regret it!

[MizTeaparty]

@tdub1941, too good! I'm sure it was a great concert.

[JackiePaquito]

Wow! Really good!

[DethP1ckle]

That was seriously amazing. You both are inspirations.
