Another copy of my uncle doing the Black and White rag. A better copy than the other (still a bit out of sync. You Tube has issues with MP4's I guess). A couple of minor mistakes, but we'll ignore those :) [ More Detail ]
This is my other video of the Black and White rag by George Botsford. It's again me playing it on the piano, but now I played the whole version (the way I learned it).I guess I have to appoligize a lot of times this time:- First for the slow beginning, it schould have been a bit faster.- Second for all the mistakes I made, and that's quite a lot this time:S- Third for the bad quality video- Fourth for the bad ending, I shouldn't have gone so fast so suddenly.- At last, for everything I've forgotten to appoligize for:P (Please post message what I've forgotten)Even though, I hope you'll enjoy.

Me playing the Black and White Rag composed by George Botsford and arrangement of Winifred Atwell. I mess up quite a bit, and this is the first section of the piece only. I'm working on the rest, and would appreciate people's thoughts of my playing.Note: As with a lot of videos on youtube, the sound has ended up horribly out of sync with the visual, i do apologise.
