Sometimes, just sometimes, what Tom is doing with his fingers looks so easy. Then he plays a portion where the rest of us simply run out of fingers, or give up entirely, and he's plunking along with notes he's inventing as he goes along. Key changes every bar or three don't seem to bother him at all.
So we get used to his marvelous abilities, and think we understand his limits.
Then we hear him play Razor Blades. I'm gonna listen to it now,

lol i probably listen to this every morning.. how else can one start their day off without a little ragtime in the morning!
-
Yeah I hear that too! haha in my old compositions, I find myself quoting little bits of old rags from time to time - it's OK as long as you don't go overboard, many of the old ragtime composers would sometimes quote a previous rag that was only a year or two old!
-
for a second in the first part I thought I heard a bit of rose leaf rag haha... very nice though! indeed
-
it's a shame that we aren't in the ragtime era anymore. He could have been sooo famous!

@LudwigVonKoopa64 It isn't in any of Tom's folios. You might ask Neil how you can get a copy. He is active on YouTube as "topliner1916".

im very impressed, if it didnt have your name in the title id honestly think that joplin wrote this.

More like James Scott than Scott Joplin, I would have thought. But yeah, Tom has composed about 200 rags & novelties, in many different styles. He may be the most prolific ragtime composer of all time, rivaling the professional songwriters who had to churn out a new tune every week during the Tin Pan Alley era.
