The 12th Street Rag on Player Piano



I love player pianos.
I mean, you can't listen to or watch this instrument in action without a smile on your face.
I've always wanted one.
And while many folks are giving away their old player pianos,
most of them require extensive work on the pneumatic
that can run into thousands of dollars.

I guess for now I'll just have to enjoy videos such as this one.
The 12th Street Rag (oft heard on Spongebob Squarepants).
 Enjoy!

Scott Joplin's Maple Leaf Rag - A Video of a Very Creative Pianist

This video
shows a very creative pianist
as he interprets Scott Joplin's
Maple Leaf Rag.
He's got the cover off
so you can see the piano's hammers in action.

OK,
truth be told,
I just love Ragtime Music
and this musician's creativity
just inspires me.
Enjoy!
