Absolutely wonderful, Adam. I had a neighbor who played stride piano like this and Adam's performance brought back memories. My neighbor couldn't read a lick of music but he learned by watching piano rolls.
I have a beautiful old Piano that looks just like that built in 1913 and I’m going to have it completely restored inside and out and have it stained in cherry color finish
Shades of Winifred Atwell and also my talented aunt who used to play piano in the 1940's and 50's in the Merry Macs band with her brothers at district old-time dances. She could not only sight read but play a lot of tunes like this after hearing them once or twice. Such lovely nostalgia to hear this rag played so well.
Frederick molested me between 11-13. He went on trial for molesting another student of his but was acquitted on technicalities. The man is a monster and should not be promoted.
I would love to know the history of this guy eg how old when started. Did he goto a piano teacher or is he self taught ? He is an excellent outstanding piano player
