Me playing piano... kinda badly Although I compose ragtime, I am not a performer. This video is an example why. "Apple Jack" by Chas. L. Johnson is an easy rag to play, but I still can't get it right. Of course, I don't have a piano at home. I do have a big electronic keyboard that gets used as a table, and when I do play it, it's just frustrating because the feel is too light and prone to mistakes. Sorry for torturing you with this one. I'll get back to posting stuff from real performers after this. Tags: keeper ragtime piano |

Animal Crossing "K.K. Ragtime" in full ragtime, piano/flute After the previously uploaded sight-reading session of the Yoshi's Island athletic theme, Tom Brier and Julia Riley broke into a spontaneous performance of K.K. Ragtime from Animal Crossing, which Tom had sight-read in an earlier video. Julia had liked the tune so much, she got the sheet music from me and learned it herself. Here, they're both playing it without sheet music, fleshing it out in full ragtime. I was surprised that Tom had memorized the tune. There's a guy standing next to me adding trumpet-like scat. He doesn't know the tune, but is getting into it anyway! Tags: kk slider totakeke とたけけ ラグタイム どうぶつの森 nintendo piano flute brier riley totaka |

Scott Joplin - Silver Swan Rag - piano and mandolin Petra Sullivan on piano with her husband Bub on mandolin, here play Scott Joplin's "Silver Swan Rag" at The Foxes Bed & Breakfast during the 10th annual Sutter Creek Ragtime Festival, August 9, 2008. http://www.foxesinn.com http://www.suttercreekragtime.com The mandolin was a very popular instrument during the ragtime era. Many rags were published not just as piano solo scores, but had mandolin arrangements available as well. That makes this a rather authentic pairing. However, one probably wouldn't have heard a piano and mandolin performance of this rag when it was new, for it was published only as a player piano roll, around 1914. It was not published as sheet music until about 60 years later when a surviving roll was discovered in 1971. Tags: ragtime scott joplin petra sullivan bub piano mandolin suttercreek |

Yoshi's Island athletic theme, sight-read by Tom Brier & Co. You can view the sheet music they are reading here: http://users.california.com/~keeper/music/yoshiath.pdf Thanks to YouTubers Quietschquatsch and Raphy013 for the music suggestion a few days ago! Not only did Tom find this a fun tune to play, but, as you'll see, flautist Julia Riley and tubaist (tubist?) Mark Meeker decided to join in as well! After Tom's first sight-read, you hear Julia mention another Nintendo videogame tune that she liked. That was K.K. Ragtime. A short time later, Tom and Julia played it from memory! I'll have to post the video of that moment at a later date. It was fully evolved into a fleshed-out rag arrangement, much like the second run through this tune from Super Mario World 2 in this video. This tune was composed by Koji Kondo (近藤浩治). It is also known as "Hop! Hop! Donut Lifts" by some people, but in a concert video of Nintendo video game music at which the composer was in attendance, the title that appears clearly reads (if you read Japanese, anyway) simply "Yosshii Island Athletic Theme". You can purchase Tom's latest album here: http://cdbaby.com/cd/tombrier One of these days I have to get Tom to play Spinach Rag from the Final Fantasy games again... I made a score for him to read years ago, before I had a camera. Tags: nintendo mario piano flute tuba yoshi brier riley meeker 近藤浩治 近藤 浩治 ヨッシー ヨッシーアイランド アスレチックのテーマ |

Chopsticks in ragtime on two pianos, unplanned & unrehearsed Please read this description to understand what's going on here. It's only 20 minutes until the start of the finale concert at 10th annual Sutter Creek Ragtime Festival, but instead of heading out to the concert venue, Adam Swanson (foreground) came into the American Exchange Hotel venue and told Tom Brier (background) that he wanted to play a two-piano duet with him. He asked Tom if he knew "Car-Barlick Acid". Tom, who is such a good sight-reader that he doesn't memorize many tunes, said he'd probably be able to follow Adam's lead. Tom asked Adam how it starts. As a joke, Adam played the first few bars of "Chopsticks" instead. Well, as Adam was about to discover, when you give Tom an idea like that, he's going to run with it! The video starts as Tom begins playing Chopsticks in return. Adam says he only knows the first strain, but look at how quickly he picks up the second strain (and, later, the Trio which he is very surprised to discover that Tom actually knows). Once Adam gets it down, Tom starts playing with the rhythm, in true cutting-contest fashion. Adam later changes the performance into "Bill Bailey Won't You Please Come Home", then, once Tom plays it too, Adam plays "Tiger Rag" on top of it, since the chord structure is the same. They did eventually play "Car-Barlick Acid" together, but that's for another video. Alas, Adam is on an old piano that had some of its notes badly out of tune by this time on Sunday (even though it had been tuned in the morning). http://www.suttercreekragtime.com http://www.youtube.com/user/adamrag Tags: chopsticks ragtime piano duet adam swanson tom brier unrehearsed spontaneity suttercreek |

House of Ragtime -- Skunk Hollow Pardon me while I get artsy or something. I thought it would be fun to take video of what it's like to hear the sound of live ragtime music wafting through the dark night during the after- After Hours jam sessions that take place in the house known as "Skunk Hollow" each year during the Sutter Creek Ragtime Festival. The pianist is Monty Suffern -- YouTube's "montysuffern". I think you also hear Bonnie Gonzalez on violin before I get to the house, but then as I enter, she's holding her flute, so I'm not sure. Maybe that was Pepper's oboe... Yes, we have a ragtime oboist; you got a problem with that? heh heh! Stay tuned for more videos from this year's jam session, featuring the two pianos, trombone, trumpet, banjo, oboe and violin. Tags: ragtime jam piano rag suttercreek suffern |

Super Mario Athlete's Rag Air Platform sight-read; Tom Brier If you've seen my other videos of Tom sight-reading videogame ragtime sheet music that I've put in front of him, this video should come as no surprise to you. I had not yet finished correcting the awful score that is available online for this tune (I did put it into the correct time signature, but it still has some really funky chords and other problems), nevertheless I put a copy of it as it stands in front of my amazingly talented friend Tom Brier this weekend. This was the result. Tom is a highly regarded pianist and sight-reader in the ragtime community. I have other videos of him you can find (and more to come) which will give you an idea why. There are so many amateur pianists out there playing these rags from video games, but I thought it would be nice to see what a pianist who specializes in ragtime music would make of them. This tune is by Koji Kondo (近藤浩治) and is one of the most famous tunes of all music from Nintendo video games. Tags: piano super mario world brier ragtime athletic rag koji kondo 近藤 浩治 近藤浩治 nintendo |

Animaniacs piano roll QRS Word Roll 11-014. This 88-note roll came out when Animaniacs was still on the air. I wanted to buy it then, but I had just moved away from my player piano, so I figured I would just wait until I have my piano back. Well, I still don't have my piano, but last year I saw that this roll was on the to-be-discontinued list, so I snapped one up. I waited nearly a year to be able to play it. I knew that the house where I stay during the Sutter Creek Ragtime Festival every August has a player piano, so I brought the roll with me. This video is the result. The arrangement is by George Bogatko of http://www.inluxeditions.com -- arranged for the QRS Music Co., http://www.qrsmusic.com Tags: animaniacs yakko wakko dot qrs pianoroll theme piano roll playerpiano |

"Last Will & Temperament" recited single-handed (voiced?) It's been 20 years since I've heard the sketch; I've only heard my earlier recitation from 1996, so I duplicated the same deviations from my original recording... but hey, The Frantics didn't act it out the same way every time either! This was the sketch that started the "Boot to the Head" comedy craze in the early 1980s that most people in the U.S. think started with the "Tae Kwon Leap" sketch on Saturday Night Live a few years later. I had recorded it in a WAV file back in 1996 as my first demonstration of vocal range. For some reason, today I got the idea to do it on camera, which demonstrates that indeed I can switch between many voices in a single take, like I did in my performance of the original version of the Lilo & Stitch "Ace" storyboard (which demonstrated that I can act as well as do simple recitations like this). But of course, since it's on video, I had to add some, uh, physical elements to it, for extra comedic effect! And since this is the first time I've recorded myself on camera, I just had to start with my infamous hat. And since Steven Spielberg Presents Freakazoid! season 1 is coming out on DVD later this month, I had to wear my Freakazoid T-shirt. Especially as it's a boot-(to-the-head)-leg shirt (Warner Bros. never made an official one). And... uh... apologies to all the ragtimers out there who are completely taken aback by the realization that I have an extreme goofy streak. Narf!

Keeper speaking Japanese (Animal Crossing Movie plot) It's pretty self-explanatory. Thought I'd put it together as a movie as well as the MP3 file I've got online somewhere. This is the Story (ストーリー) page from the web site for the movie adaptation of the Nintendo video game known as Animal Crossing in English markets (どうぶつの森 in Japanese), as read by me. This was actually only a year and a few months ago -- not a couple years like I said for the intro. I know I mispronounced a syllable of one word, and accidentally slipped a "ru" at the end of another word, making "ageru" instead of "age". Ah well. It had been 16 years since I had really sat down and spoken any Japanese, so my mouth wasn't quite up to snuff. This came about because my friends know that I have quite a vocal range -- an ability to do voices and sounds that very few can, and ability to speak in different accents and to pronounce words from various languages with a fair bit of accuracy (my French and Japanese teachers both said that at times I sounded native). In a discussion about Japanese, I pondered whether I should record myself speaking something in that language. My friends encouraged me to do so, so I did this recording, for lack of an ability to come up with anything original to say. Tags: 外人 どうぶつの森 劇場版 ストーリー animal crossing movie japanese speaking |

Linda's room and stuff (plushies! pins! trinkets!) Only our friends will find this interesting. The rest of you can move along... I had my camera with me on the 4th of July, and before we went to take a trip to Santa Cruz (Linda just gotta have her salt-water taffy!) and then to the race track, I shot some video of Linda's room so our friends can see the cartoon character & generic plushie/beanie overload! There's a blurry bit shot from the Santa Cruz Wharf in the middle, but if you're playing Spot The Characters, come back for the end of the video for the closeup of some smaller (and electrified) trinkets. Don't you hate it when videos have the camera operator talking? That really bugs me. I hate that I did that. Rawr. Tags: plushies plush pins keychains wb disney warner anime cartoon |

Ocean Speedway, 4th of July 2008 I had to cut 17 minutes out to get this to within 10 minutes. I have covered the races at Ocean Speedway (formerly Watsonville Speedway) for the Santa Cruz Sentinel for 17 years. This year, though, they only print what I send them once a month, or twice if I'm lucky. Not that they've paid me at all this year, anyway. When they do print, it's extremely chopped up, leaving horrible grammar and/or punctuation errors. The current editors seem to be rather illiterate. At least I finally got them to stop changing my semicolons into incorrectly used commas. Anyway, since they won't print anything, I thought I'd use their "post your videos" page to get some coverage of the race track onto their web site at least. Auto racing is by far the most watched professional sport in Santa Cruz County (up against beach volleyball and surfing, each of which have national championship events here, as will racing when the World of Outlaws come to town in October and probably will bring more spectators than both those other sporting events combined). The newspaper would rather cover things like disc golf, however. I shot more video of the dwarf cars than any other division, because their racing is so good. However, this meant that theirs were the ones that first got the axe as I trimmed down the video length. Now it seems like I didn't give them enough coverage here. Ah well. It's just like when writing an article! Back in the '90s, the newspaper had me doing full-page spreads for previews and season wrap-ups. The editor of the time gave me a raise on the spot when he read one of my raw submissions for the first time and realized that nothing had to be done to it; I knew how to spell, how to punctuate, how to use AP style, etc. Such a far cry from these days.

2nd draft of "A Rag-Time Hullabaloo" I wrote the first two strains of this back in April, and was really pleased with them. Then a couple weeks ago I slaved for five hours to write the first four bars of the third strain (which are just two bars repeated!). And it really got worse from there, I think, except for one moment of inspiration as concerns the first eight bars of the fourth strain. It's probably too beautiful for a dirty, up-tempo rag like this. I'm really not liking how the fourth strain ends. Measure 13 is throwing me fits. I've tried about five different things in there, and about three different endings for the strain, but I just can't wrap my head around what it needs there. I guess it's OK now... is it? I ask for your thoughts -- or suggestions! The sheet music still needs to be finished too. Obviously, much of the first half of the fourth strain will need to be written an octave lower with an ottava line above it. I think some note accents for bass notes in the third strain are in order also, and maybe in the second strain too. The video and audio for this were recorded separately. Either the program used to capture the computer screen did so slightly faster, or the MIDI rendering program (for the better piano sound) played slightly slower. So audio lags behind a bit at the end. My recording levels were slightly too high (even though they were turned down almost to zero), so there's a bit of clipping static in a couple places.

"Mashed Potatoes" ragtime piano duet; V. Tichenor & T. Brier Just before she hopped on a plane to play at another ragtime festival happening the same weekend, Virginia Tichenor said she just had to play a duet with Tom Brier. So she called him up to the second piano, and they mulled for a bit to decide on a tune to play together. They chose this one by Calvin Lee Woolsey (C.L. Woolsey) from 1911. Virginia said that she thinks of this rag as the sort of thing that Tom would have composed if he lived during the ragtime era. Tom mused that it must be because of the all the bass chords it has. This was at the 2008 Ragtime Corner in Sacramento, California. Tags: folk ragtime piano duet tichenor brier woolsey 1911 rag |

King Chanticleer with lyrics Everyone has heard this tune at some point, even if they don't know the title -- but even most people who know the title don't know the words. In fact, until I looked up the words for this video, all I knew was that the song was about a chicken. Now you can sing along with the Raspberry Jam Band as they play this immortal tune by Nat D. Ayer with lyrics by A. Seymour Brown. The Raspberries have their backup tuba man, Brian Schlegel, in this performance from the Ragtime Corner during the 2008 Sacramento Jazz Jubilee. On piano is Tom Brier. Julia Riley is on piccolo, with percussionist Kitty Wilson behind her. On the left are Mary Preston on violin and George Preston hiding in back on euphonium.
