Thanks to a post over on Geeks Are Sexy, I was made aware of this piece of AWESOME: The Animaniacs Theme, done in Ragtime.
Stick around in the video for his second attempt at playing the song. Even MORE AWESOME.
I’ve always had a bizarre thing for ragtime. I don’t know why. But I have very early memories of liking Scott Joplin’s “The Entertainer”. And always being drawn to the ragtime pianist at Disney World who was also over by Casey’s Corner at the end of Main Street, USA.
Anyway.
I’m not really sure where I was going with that. But you just got a little more insight about me.
Until next time...
To be honest, I was expecting a completely different “rag time” post. #kotex
NAS-T
That was awesome – especially the second version. I’ve always loved ragtime music and am (amazed (read: jealous) when someone can play the piano that way. Must have something to do with the fast fingers….
I’ve always been impressed with people who can sight read sheet music. And to add to that a ragtime tune. Major jealous!
I too have fond memories of Scott Joplin’s “The Entertainer”. Enjoyed the movie (the Sting), but the song was much better.
Thank you for sharing this gleeful moment.
I liked The Sting, probably just because of all the ragtime music in it. I sometimes wonder if I was born into the wrong era.
And I’m glad you got some glee from it!
