- Me playing "Swipesy Cakewalk" by Scott Joplin & Arthur Marshall on a balcony with an exquisite view of the ocean by the harbor in a beautiful city while visiting my grandmother during Easter Holiday.
While this video was recorded, I was in the middle of being sick with the Corona virus, (which I wasn't aware of at the time). I was tired, had back and neck pain and didn't feel like myself. Though I didn't suffer from a loss in taste, it felt pretty much like a normal fever.
Recorded on the 17th of April in 2022 (day of upload) using a Zoom H1n microphone with no effects, a Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge and an LG G5.

Syncopation spot on nicely strètched.
Really well done. Your a cool young guy. Keep the music going.Tom would be glad he inspired you I bet.
i love this!
What an excellent location to perform! A great rendition.
Many thanks!
I looked over doing this piece. If folks even new the complexity of this song. My hat's off to you. After reviewing it... BRAVO Really Fantastic Job. Jim
Thank you, have you played much ragtime?
@@Tarzoq You Bet !!
@@jimmymiller77 I would love to hear you play something.
Only after rewatching this video do I realize just how big your hands are XD You are LUCKY!!!
Me? Big hands? I don't think so. I can reach tenths only if it's on the edge of the keys. I can just barely do a minor tenth, even then I hit other keys in between.
@@Tarzoq Huh, then I guess you just have really long fingers or something because you remind me of Max Keenlyside playing hahaha, tarantula hands!
❤️What à lovely piece and what a wiew 😁
It looks so easy when you play, but I know it’s very hard, and WHAT A MEMORY YOU’VE GOT, playing whitout notes!
THANK YOU FOR SHARING❤️
It is indeed a very astonishing view. I have a very profound passion for this type of music, which I think facilitates my brains ability to understand and memorize.
@@Tarzoq ❤️🤗 You’re the best🤩
@@Tarzoq Yes, and your passion is like Tom Brier’s - your role model🤩
I am sooo jealous. Why can't I be there enjoying that Fantastic view and enjoy Great Music ?? Another GREAT Job buddy. Keep posting and you channel will grow past your expiations. Enjoy that great weather you have. All my best, Jim
Thanks, will do. My channel has grown surprisingly quickly, to a point I didn't at all expect. Just out of curiousity, it seems that by your comment you might not have very good weather as of now. Is this correct?
@@Tarzoq You bet. I live in Indiana USA. It is 42 degrees Fahrenheit at this moment and believe me The view here is nothing like yours. Just one word, Fantastic ! Have a great week, Jim
@@jimmymiller77 Indiana seems like a cool place to live, after all it's where Stranger Things was based. Just about a month ago here in Sweden we had the same temperature, and no sun. This year it seems like summer has arrived early. And by the way, that fantastic view is actually my grandmothers who I visited with my family for Easter Holiday.
There are a number of forests in Indiana, do you currently reside in one? I have always felt American forests in particular to be beautiful.
@@Tarzoq No I live in a metropolitan aera. here are many forest preserves in my area. In the summer I love to visit them and take nature photos. Hope you are enjoying the nice spring weather. All my best Jim
@@jimmymiller77 Nice, actually just yesterday I was in a forest. The leaves have fully bloomed which which made it feel like summer, including the temperature. I couldn't resist but to take pictures because it was so beautiful.
I hope summer will come to your town soon. Have a great week, Tarzoq.
Nice sound! That piano has a good sample set, like most Casios :D I like this piece a lot!
Thanks! It does have a nice Grand Piano sound. This Casio model in particular is called CDP, which stands for "Compact Digital Piano". So it does not have a display, and there is only about 8 different sounds to choose from, including 2 piano sounds.
And I also like this piece a lot, I have had a lot of fun with it so far.
@@Tarzoq I have a Yamaha P-85 with a very similar set up, no display and 10 sounds, two pianos, two organs, two e pianos, two harpsichords, strings and vibraphone
PRIMA PRIMISSIMA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hello again!
Hello!
@@Tarzoq How's going?
@@Matthew-dd2gp Everything is going very well, I have fully recovered from Corona, which lasted almost 2 weeks.
HAHAH I love your deadpan expression. Did you take a peak at the keys underneath the sunglasses? :P
Still really impressive that you didn't look at your hands too much. I don't think I could do that. (OK maybe I could but it's still really impressive). Great performance! One would definitely think you'd have a few more years of experience under your belt. Really nice bass too, with the rolled 10ths and added 5ths
That "deadpan" expression is usually how I look, but inside my mind fireworks are going off. I did look at the keys a few times, but I also enjoyed the beautiful view. I train to be able to play without looking at my hands, if I one day will be able to sight-read, which I am seeing a lot of progress with. I got all the 10ths and 5ths from listening to Tom Brier all the time.
@@Tarzoq yeah I should train my sight reading and blind playing too… when I play my expression is pretty apparent, but there are also things going on in my mind. Anyway, perhaps I should steal some of Tom’s vocabulary. :P
@@pjotrkolster You should definitely do that! If you're going to take things from Tom's musical vocabulary, take the things YOU like. I specifically loved everything.
@@Tarzoq yeah I’m slowly developing my own style. :) I’ve wanted to get 10ths into my playing for a while but I gotta practise first
Wonderful performance. Perfect speed too. As you get better and better please don’t think you need to race to the finish line. So many players fly through the pieces thinking it’s impressive but it really just sounds sloppy and they miss the subtlety and intricacies of Joplin’s rags. You have the magic touch.
Thank you so much! I definitely won't do that. :D
I play what I feel to be most fitting, not what seems most impressive to others(I find no joy in that). The magic touch you mentioned I believe I got from listening to Tom Brier, I can't get enough of his performances.
@@Tarzoq Tom Brier is obviously talented but he’s also what I call a pounder. There’s almost no moderation in anything he plays. So just develop your own style and you’ll go far. It’s very sad that he can no longer play anymore. Hopefully, he will one day recover his health.
@@brotoubrotou3164 It is sad that he can no longer play. 😢
Whatever do you mean there's no moderation in anything he plays?
@@Tarzoq I think he plays everything loud and fast. Even though I can appreciate his talent I don’t particularly enjoy listening to him. Have you heard Scott Kirby. So talented, a pleasure to listen to.
I guess that is where have different tastes. I love listening to him so much, I used to listen to regular EDM music thinking I was enjoying it but comparing that to how I enjoy ragtime now, EDM doesn't stand a chance.
I totally understand if you don't like Tom's style, though have you heard any of Tom's waltzes? They are quite magical.
If you listen to others play this song you will find that yours sounds much more "Alive ".. JIm
Thank you!
Not sure about this but would you consider playing Easy Winners by Scott Joplin ?? Thanks so much, Jim
@@jimmymiller77 I definitely can. I will just need to learn it 😆
@@Tarzoq I can't wait. Thanks so much. Have a Super Week, Jim
@@jimmymiller77 Glad to hear that. You too have yourself an awesome week!
