Most don't realize that she wore all those feathers in an attempt to hide the fact she put on so much weight. she didn't need too, people lover Her no matter her size!
"The Lawrence Welk Show" was not one of my favorites as a kid with the notable exception of Jo Ann Castle who simply mesmerized me (and still does on RUclips) with her amazing honky-tonk style at the piano.
@@PiotrBarcz -true but she exposed Ragtime to a lot of people who knew nothing about it and many were led to discover Scott Joplin and others because of her. I heard Jo Ann Castle on the Lawrence Welk Tv show in the 1950’s and hearing her made me want to learn more about Ragtime so I bought Rudi Blesh book They All Played Ragtime and Riverside lp’s of piano rolls and later joined the Maple Leaf Club in Los Angeles that had monthly meetings of pianists playing real ragtime.
@@PiotrBarcz - thanks for your recognization of Jo Ann Castle. Forget Marvin Hamlisch and The Sting. Jo Ann Castle was way before that movie and her great showmanship in addition to playing the piano introduced so many to the great Ragtime composers. She just didn’t sit at the piano and play. She was a whole show.
I always loved watching her play anything but Maple Leaf Rag was my favorite! Oh those flying fingers!
She's amazing!
Pura arte 🎨. ❤ En su talento y sus manos ❤🙌🇦🇷🎹👏👏👏
Ahh...Jo Ann...The Queen of the Castle!!!

And that’s why they call her the queen of the Ragtime piano. Jo Ann Castle was a boss sitting at that piano bench!
It’s not really ragtime at this point. She does a good hob of playing it as she does but the tempo is an essential part of playing ragtime properly
Thanks for sharing Omar! She's the best.

BRAVO
Fabulous!!!
Jeez, she makes it look easey....
Very cool! no trio cause "2003= shorter excerpts for tv etc" i suppose
Rémi B. Goode makes sense!
@@omar_rasidagic she could have played the whole piece, just by not doing the repeats.
WHY does watching Joann Castle play always make me so laugh in such a silly way?

Grande
Very disappointing that she didn't play the "trio" part...my favorite of the whole piece. Some performers do not play all of it.
Wunnerful, wunnerful!
If Jo Ann Castle likes playing fast then have her play Jelly Roll Morton’s Finger Buster or Lucky Roberts Junk Man Rag.
Poor Joplin.
Играет виртуозно, но без души
It's just annoying to me that she plays this so darn fast...
Exacctllyyy
