From the amateur appearance of the recording I thought it would be an amateur performance, but damn that's some good rhythm you've got there! Keep it up.
Excellent, Mr. Reed-Torres! Finally found someone on YT who plays Sugar Cane right! Your tempo is perfect, and you play with the authority -- as well as the joyful spirit -- that Joplin put in the music. These people who speed it up as if it's a joke or slow it down and turn it into some classical dirge are way off base. Keep up the good work!
I grew up playing Joplin rags that I learned from a Tin Pan Alley pianist, and it’s rare to hear this played right, like you do, with the authority that’s prerequisite to make the rhythm and melody sing like you do. You’re really good. Great performance.
Well Done... Scott Joplin would have approved -- except for the speed change at the end 🤔 he may have muttered "Showboating" 😜 Because, as he said, "Do not play Ragtime fast. Ragtime is never to be played fast."
Bravo!
You play as if you were there in person, listening and seeing Joplin himself. Bravo
