      That's actually easy. The hard part of this song is, that the left hand plays a simple rythm 1 - 2 - 3 - 4, but the right hand plays 1.5 - 2 - 2.5 - 3 - 3.5 - 4.5 and then 1 - 1.5 - 2 - 2.5 - 3.5 - 4 - 4.5 . To catch this timing right with both hand together is super tricky and even a metronome doesn't help much here.

Folks would be holding their sides, tears rolling down their faces in fits of laughter as she sang and played the "Laughing Policeman". Such wonderful memories! My mom could sure make that piano move when playing.

      @Buddy The Dog "Trio" is an italian word that means "three". With "trio" you refer to a group of three people/instrumentalists. But, instead, the "Trio" in the Maple Leaf Rag is an interlude, a piece inside a piece.

    Paul, I was first attracted to your wonderful, loving elephant "serenades", but then grew to appreciate your piano talents apart from that. I grew up listening to my Mom playing rags by Scott Joplin, who in my opinion was an underappreciated genius.
    Are you familiar with William Bolcom's three "Ghost Rags", Graceful Ghost Rag, Poltergeist, and Dream Shadows? If not, I urge you to check them out; they are an absolute delight! And quite challenging, as I have heard. Thank you for your videos, especially those with your charming daughter Emilie.
