No showing off, just walks up to the piano plays like a pro then just walks away. Your fingers are magic, that was wonderful just the uplift I needed. Thank you so much, Michael, loved it.
I've said it before, I'll say it again. You are fantastic. I can't help but have a happy day after I listen to you play. Thanks for bringing more happiness to world.
There is so much beauty in the graceful precision with which you play music. Thank you for sharing! You've made an all-nighter at the library that much easier to bear...
This is one of the (if not THE) best played versions if this rag on UA-cam. What'd I'd give to play with the skill and precision you do! Keep up the good work! ~Michael~
Despite what certain sight-only musicians may say, a true musician has to be able to play by ear. I could not imagine what it must be like to be utterly unable to play without sheet music. Your ability and musicianship are exceptional.
Congratulation...you make me remember when in the 70's I used to play that song by ear too, in the Wurlitzer spinet piano from the High School... FANTASTIC!!!!
Awesome! Brings back all the memories of my grandmother playing the piano! This was always my most requested song as a child! Thanks for posting this! I thoroughly enjoyed it!
Awesome talent. I love to play ragtime myself, but your precision is unmatched. And oh, you let US be the judge of handsome !!! And I judge you to be very much so !!! Haaaaa .... Keep up the awesome playing !!! Wish you were in the States.
We are off to Orlando soon...I would love to see you on Mainstreet Disney outside the Crystal Palace restaurant...you could give their resident pianist a run for his money, and really suprise the crowds too!!! Brilliant!
when I was a little boy my father would play this song faster and faster and mw my brother and sisters would all be dancing around the piano to it THanks for the memories.
you are amazing. I go by the name of Brenthoven... Love your style. It is not Winifred Atwell's (which I loved) it is your own musical DNA. Keep the music flowing.
George Harrison is one of the many famouse legends who states that spiritual beings have many human experiences in the physical body so there is a possibilty that Winnie has chosen to have an other physical human experience to further her learning whilst bringing her brilliant unmistakable music back again.Music like Winnies is just too awsome to fade away.Its Mikes soul purpose to play this music.Either way this music was meant to bring joy to the world and thats why it will hopefully continue!
Michael-What a truly amazing video, you are talented beyond words. I used to sit on the piano bench beside my grandmother Lizzie Durr back in Alabama and watch her play this song when I was 5 years old. I am a muscian, The Billy Ray Band on Last FM. If you ever make it to Seattle would love to have you do some session work. i would love to incorporate some of this ragtime feel into a few tunes.
Excellent renditions. I thoroughly enjoy your style and vitality which you put into your playing. Just keep churning out these videos. You're the first one I check each time I login to youtube! And red is my favorite color, too!
Michael, what you have done here is just amazing... since my early years I have listened to this Winifred Atwell tune. Your reproduction of it is brilliant and if I close my eyes, I cannot tell the difference between the original and your presentation of it. Kudos, my new friend.
Awesome - - - Thank you so much - - this really brings back memories. When I took lessons many moons ago, I used to play a lot of ragtime (not half as well as you). I hated my teacher's selections, and spent a lot of time with Ragtime.
You do an AWESOME job with this. Winnie would be VERY proud! There will never be another like her. In my opinion, her rag and honk-tonk playing was flawless. She could play with such precision, and with such ease. That said, you do an incredible job young man, and it is great to see a gifted young person keeping her music alive. Keep it up man! Mike from USA/Missouri
I love how he just walks to the piano, plays the song, and walks away. Pure showmanship!
No showing off, just walks up to the piano plays like a pro then just walks away. Your fingers are magic, that was wonderful just the uplift I needed. Thank you so much, Michael, loved it.
The piano has a nice ragtime sound tune to it. The song sounds good on this piano.
I will now perform my peoples native dance
HAHAHA
... as i close my eyes ... i hear my 78 rpm records from Winifred Atwelll ... só fantastic ... you keep this happy music alive !
soooo sweet
this is what kid of music you would hear when you walked into a bar in the 1850s-1910s. aaaahhhh, bring back good times!
The outfit makes you look like a classic saloon piano player. Fantastic piano playing!
BAR FIGHT!!!!
What a joy to listen to that!
*Michael, I was just about to write something then incredibly I found I was at loss for words.*
During the era of ragtime music it was played faster. The gentleman that is playing in this video is doing every well with speed. Good job.
It's rare to find such a musical pianist on here. Great job. I'm suitably impressed!
I felt compelled to watch this 3 times and each time, I was mesmerized. Another excellent play, Michael
I've said it before, I'll say it again. You are fantastic. I can't help but have a happy day after I listen to you play. Thanks for bringing more happiness to world.
wowowow....what talent....excellent Michael.....!!! Thank you...Greetings from Perth Western Australia :-))))
The way you walk straight up to the piano and get stuck into it shows complete competent and confident ability and you don't disappoint. Well done
Thanks for honoring Winnie, she was the best. You are pretty darn good yourself. :)
This was played by ear! No way! You are a beautiful and an astounding. Handsome and talented, a deadly mix. Watch out ladies.
this is just amazing, I love it and this is the song that was number one when I was born, I love it
Michael Sand can play anything. He is brilliant.

Woah this guy is amazing at playing the piano
Yes. It's very tough doing the left hand to this kind of music because of all the quick back and forth from bass not to chord.
Love your playing. You have made me want to learn to play the piano!
