What a great talent you have!! I love to listen to you play. Thanks for sharing your talent with us. Your music makes me happy!!
What talent- fantastic! I play by ear and this is the sort of stuff I love.Thank you from Yorkshire in England!
Wonderful, as usual!
Brilliant. Brings back memories of my father who played in local pubs and had to play hits in “ragtime” style at singalong nights.

Hi Adam, I live in Johannesburg South Africa and I've just found you today. I'm so blessed by your fantastic Ragtime music! You see, I grew up in a musical home where music filled every day/evening. My late uncle had a band and my late Dad together with him, played both piano & accordion in the band. So from birth really, I have known these glorious music pieces. My Dad also played the Hammond organ in the 60's. I was taken to see most of the film & theatre musica productions which I still love! I was in our High School musical Oklahoma as I sang in the choir! 😊
I too learnt piano and organ from 4 years by Dad then other teachers, I also did Ballet and Tap Dancing.
These beautiful melodies brought back wonderful memories for me today and I hope to listen regularly to you from now on. I'm now primary caregiver to my hubby who now has BvFTD Dementia (been married 42 years), and your music will certainly lift my spirits a lot! Thank you for sharing your incredible talent!
Loved your version of Alley Cat. Lots of piano humor.
love your rendition of 'More'...beautiful...dts/usa
Lovely old country melodies ...!!❤

Absolutely loved this program!,,,
I live in Tennessee and you are tops in my book❗️♥️♥️♥️
Very cool. Never knew the piano could be cool.
very interesting to hear 'Brown Eyes Blue" as a ragtime rendition--usually more of a torch song...dts/usa
It's not supposed to be a ragtime rendition really! (I guess it comes out that way when I play anything... is it too happy? Lol)
enjoyed The Cantina Band--very nice...dts/usa
Adam you are such a talenred pianist Amazing !!
For someone who is not a country musician you have great taste in country music and artists.
Oh Adam, its amazing as always ! - Especially your Version of "Java" makes me smile and feel happy :) - Bavaria/Germany
You are such a talented pianist ...😊!!
Beautiful playing.A true artist! .... from Fort Worth, Texas
You are one of the best piano players that I have ever heard. I love to listen to you. Well done and all of the best ahead
Unfreakenbelievable!
Love listening to you Adam!
Especially like your rendition of “Crazy!”
I feel the same way you do about the Beatles but when I am 64 (which I passed 14 years ago) is my all time favorite Beatles song.
Excellent as usual!!!!
Een heerlijk spel wat je laat horen gr Lies
Great show ! great music ! Good to hear some Hank Williams tunes ! and Bent Fabric ! Nice ! Awesome playing ! Love it ! Thanks !
Adam, thank you so much for playing such memorable music in such soothing style! 😊
Fabulous concert, thanks, Adam!👍👍👍👍👍
I love your music !
Loving it from Kingston , Jamaica.
Very nice melodies from a very talented young pianist Thank you Adam .
Wonderful Adam, thank you keeping ragtime here today. Brilliant playing, from bega NSW Australia ❤
Adam, love your show. Thanks for the memories.
Peter Dare.
New South Wales, Australia.
Enjoyed you at Blackwood both events.
I'm going threw a break up. Dear gal.your music helps me .
Greeting here from Aalborg Denmark Thank you Adam
I like your idea! I heard once “Down Yonder” done as a ragtime. I am from Winter Haven, Florida.
Now you have me thinking about the songs of my youth and which ones can be Ragged! 1967-75... I'm in the Diamond Belle demographic of being 70YO. !!!
My first guess won't work!! Jeremiah Was a Bullfrog, will just never go ragtime!!
Fantastic show😊. This would've been a great concert for "Remembering You" by Roger Kellaway/Carroll O'Connor. Everyone knows that pop rag tune. I'm sure it'll make it in another concert. I especially enjoyed "Old Cape Cod"...one of my favorite melodies that you played probably in what is now my favorite rendition. Great job-thanks!
Reba Waller about the 3rd tim time and you are awesomely fantastic ❗️♥️♥️♥️
Love the Star Wars Cantina Band!
Love your playing! I , too, am from Flint, MI. I had a piano teacher who would "mash" classical with Rag style of playing: Clementi, Scarlatti, Beethoven, Chopin, etc.. Hope you ewill consider doing the same some day. I did the same in high school with mixing the music of Motown (unfamiliar to you) with rag and stride piano. The students loved it! Good luck woth future endeavors!
I think a lot of Beatles tunes would rag very well-- Maxwell's Silver Hammer, When I'm 64, Penny Lane, etc.
I think the song you started out with was “Put Another Nickel in…”. I have always admired ragtime players. I like to see them at Disney World.” Have you ever. Played for silent movies?
LOL Over 100 years ago it took 2 PEOPLE to record piano music like this onto a PIANO ROLL. LOL. But NOBODY TOLD YOU. SO YOU DID IT YOURSELF!! YOU ARE A REVELATION!
Also you are adorable.
Loved the Hank Williams medley.
yes. Piano fun and humor from Adam.
Do something one day with On Mocking bird Hill ❗️♥️♥️
My own personal sing-along 😊
Have you done anything with In Blueberry Hill?
loved winchester Cathedral - particuarly the hand-swap - your probably not worrired about it now, Adam, but palying the piano 'crossy-buckle' (in England crossind hands) stops you getting dementia.
Rag is the best!!
Do you play boogie woogie? Do you teach on lin?
❤
Yes, quite often. Just check for my concert entitled "Boogie and Blues." But I do not teach online.
Could you play paper roses with Mary Osmond
Could you give lessons and tutorial for you have a special technich
