Whoo Hoo. You can't beat a bit of ragtime and that is a great tune.

..and you can't beat Weaver banjos for classic style. Yours has that brilliant "Weaver" attack!

You must spend a lot of time practising as that looks a tricky piece to play so well.

Really good!

Thank you thank you and thank you again Ian ... I work a lot .. but I would love more. There's a lot going on in this piece, it's hard for the concentration but the Weaver with the medium strings helps me to move forward I want to put heavy tie rods for more power :) :)

That was brilliant playing, Anthony - sounds like a tricky tune but you looked really relaxed when you play.

Thank you Carrie .. relaxed? It is an illusion :)

Hi Anthony, that was a great rendition of a classic ragtime tune. I believe it's reckoned to be the first to be published? I used to play it on my accordion many years ago but never on banjo so you've inspired me to download it and give it a run through...Steve.

Thank you Steve :) , I loved working this piece and I admit it was not simple .. but the desire to go to the end give me faith .. apart from the video of Carl Anderton I do not I have not found any other, I like this piece and I would like to see other videos :)
