The Egyptian Fandango, version 2

A Spanish fandango written by a black American banjo star around 1882. An incredibly unlikely piece of history.

I saw this version of the same song on YouTube:

So I did a response video of my own version:

Which was part of the conversation here:

And then I found out that a fandango is one of those flamenco tunes where a dancer with castanets and a guitar player go faster and faster.

So I did this new version to incorporate the new information.

Thanks man.

The sound got mangled by YT when they transcoded from my original. It sounds like magnetic tape that got chewed.

To tell you the truth I'm discouraged about this old music and am in the process of giving it up. People don't dig it. Nobody's interested in the first place, and when somebody does stop by the music doesn't make them feel anything.

please don't stop. crisake, weston practically invented ragtime! you're a visionary, they often are ignored. at first. just found weston tunes were on (god bless) youtunes, and am posting them all to my wall.

Naw, keep doin' what yer doin' if that's what you like man, don't let the commercialized masses get you down.... I for one really dig your interpretation of these old tunes. Keep the music personal to yourself, that's whats best about it, I 'd rather only get a handful of views from people who 'get it' rather than 1000's of hits playin' pop!
