Adam said he used a combination of the video of Tom playing it and Tom's manuscript. The manuscript, however, is in G, but Tom decided that it sounds better in G-flat, so Adam had to transpose everything down a half step. I just posted a two-piano duet of this with Adam and Tom.

This is a remarkable composition, and Adam's interpretation is grand. Best wishes to Tom Brier, who suffered a bad automobile accident!

This composition is affirmation that ragtime will never die! Bless Tom, who has suffered a bad accident. This tune easily rivals Lamb's best, and nearly approaches Scott Joplin's best.

Hmmmmmmmm... suppose we'll get a two-piano duet of Tom and Adam on this one in the next few days at the West Coast Ragtime Festival?

Great stuff, if only I could play one tenth this well. I so enjoy this music, gives a lift to your day, puts trouble behind you for a minute or two. Adam is extremely talented, I hope he continues to keep us entertained for years.

You are absolutely one of the best true ragtime players I have heard. Joplin would be proud.

Love the composition and the performance. Both great! Thank you for posting this!

Apparently, he learned it from a score Tom scribbled out when he first composed it. Barely readable, from what Adam tells me.
