The incredibly talented MIMI BLAIS performs an hilarious and amazing medley of recognizable tunes.

Thanks to YouTube "Alexcortot" for the explaination he provided below about this musical fireworks show by Mimi.

Dizzy Fingers by Zez Confrey and classical desecrations containing citations from Chopin (funeral march), Beethoven (For Elise), Liszt (2nd Hungarian Rhapsody), Bizet (Carmen), Mozart (Little Night Music and Turkish March), Khatchaturian (Sabre Dance) and Gershwin's Rhapsody in blue. Mimi is wonderful! What an entertainer she is.

This was at a concert in the historic Missouri Theater Center for the Arts.

The concert was one of many during the annual BLIND BOONE RAGTIME & EARLY JAZZ FESTIVAL held in Columbia, Missouri.

Check Mimi's website for upcoming performances and CD's, and also check the Blind Boone Ragtime & Early Jazz Festival website for all kinds of information about the performers and their music.

The Festival was a blast!

I WISH YOU COULD HAVE BEEN THERE! OH WELL, THERE'S ALWAYS NEXT YEAR.

  • She's too much of a geek for me, but she's one hell of a pianist!

  • She is about as much of a "geek" as Einstein was stupid! You might ought to go back to "geek" recognition school so you won't make goofy mistakes like this one.
