Another repost with flower pictures. I goof up the end somewhat, but overall it's not too bad. (Oh well, the mistakes are what make the performances unique, eh? ;) ) *****Notice to those who do not like their Ragtime Swung**** I like to play ragtime with a swing, a bounce, a snap and other rhythmic patterns. Sometimes I add syncopations and ornaments. I have spent a number of years learning how I like to play Ragtime, and telling me that Ragtime should never be swung, or similar things, will only result in me flaming you, blocking you and/or removing your post. So don't bother. If you feel you MUST protest my use of swing, etc.,, instead of lecturing me, please instead refer me to a performance or performer you like, and I can check it out for myself. This will save us all some aggrevation, and I might actually like the performer or video in question. (*Yes, I HAVE listened to Joshua Rifkind. I find his playing polished and refined, and also rather tepid for my taste.)
