  • Ryan Wishner is later joined by Vincent Matthew Johnson on the left piano while Tom Brier plays the right piano in this rousing after-hours rendition of the 1912 hit song "Waiting For the Robert E. Lee" -- music by Lewis F. Muir. This was at a late-night party during the weekend of the 2015 Sutter Creek Ragtime Festival.
    The music is in the public domain. Many sheet music archives have the score available for download, including the Library of Congress here: www.loc.gov/it...

      @@tijuanaiguana190 Tom is the gentleman playing the grand piano, on the right of the video. He's a legend, one of the all-time great ragtime pianists. Not long after this video was recorded, Tom was in in a terrible automobile accident, where a pickup truck rear-ended Tom's car, basically annihilating it. Tom was lucky to survive, but he was left with brain damage, was in a coma for a while, then was in a wheel chair. The last I heard he's still not able to play. It's a terrible loss for Tom, and us.

If it is possible, I would appreciate if you could update the Tom Brier's Discord with his news because if I am correct the latest update was when he was vaccinated (4 months ago or something). No pressure at all, I commented though just because I learned from here that Tom will never heal.

      Based on his laughter and how long of an extended ending he'd make up, you can tell how much he enjoyed each tune. He adored K.K. Ragtime, playing it from memory at a moment's notice, and even in concert, as well as the Yoshi's Island Athletic Theme which the Raspberry Jam Band added to their repertoire.
