  • Each time I visit Jim Omohundro at Casey's Corner in the Magic Kingdom it's a new adventure! He is the true spirit if the Disney magic and an incredible talent!
    Jim and I were discussing the Sherman Brothers when I told him that It's a Small World was written not as a march but in the words of Richard Sherman, as a "Song of Peace." He promptly lit up the keys and played it ragtime style with lightning speed and precisions... enjoy!

    "It's only 12 notes" He's talking about the chromatic scale, not the song itself. He literally uses every usable note on the chromatic scale in this version. It's honestly incredible.

    • @Apkans
      @Apkans 7 років тому +4

      He doesn't actually use that scale though. the music modulates through out, utilizing the pentatonic scales. Its not uncommon in ragtime, but you certainly must know the lay out of the keys.

      Ragtime is just an improvisation of a song normally in the blues scale, it is incredible I'll give you that. Normally people just make it up while playing for example Jim.

      How old are you now? And yes I went and there’s a cover over the piano but he might come back soon this year or next year is what I think.

    Sure it takes skill to play everything on fast forward.
    But it takes heart and respect to play a piece at the tempo the author has specified.
