That was excellent and I enjoyed listening to it. Thanks for sharing!
TV these days could use more of these types of talent segments.

Indeed. Every aspiring piano player tries to learn "The Entertainer," not realizing that the original version is a lot harder than anticipated. They end up playing the dumbed-down version. They also play it too damn fast. As Max Morath said, "Ragtime should never be played fast."

She was good, but Chet? Chet looked like he could doze off while he was playing it. He looked like it was the simplest thing in the world for him.

@LuFins-Dad well, yes. It is with a different "feel" and is quite a bit faster and with what I can only describe as
"agitado". Of course the arrangement is different. Her technique is quite flawless.Chet is playing a much more relaxed arrangement. One that I could probably take a reasonable stab at. I have no desire to play it faster than Chet Atkins. lol
