    Should have given the guy in the chair some Spoons to play along with this, that would have been awesome.

    Dang I remember you from the first Rag video I ever watched on YT with Tom Brier(I think playing a Super Mario song).. You were sitting next to him with a grin from ear to ear.. So wonderful you are keeping Rag alive. Tom would be so proud. Tom's influences are seen all over the Rag community, and so many youngsters got into the genre thanks to Tom. Keep up the great work!

    Qué manía de ir a toda hostia. El resultado es que acorta las notas largas pero no las cortas porque no puede, y la proporción entre ellas se la carga. Respeto su nivel, pero prefiero a un principiante tocando más lento pero marcando la diferencia entre la duración de las notas. Seguro que impresiona a bastantes por la velocidad, pero se oye feo.
