Swipesy Cakewalk (Joplin & Marshall) played by me on balcony

Me playing "Swipesy Cakewalk" by Scott Joplin & Arthur Marshall on a balcony with an exquisite view of the ocean by the harbor in a beautiful city while visiting my grandmother during Easter Holiday.

While this video was recorded, I was in the middle of being sick with the Corona virus, (which I wasn't aware of at the time). I was tired, had back and neck pain and didn't feel like myself. Though I didn't suffer from a loss in taste, it felt pretty much like a normal fever.

Recorded on the 17th of April in 2022 (day of upload) using a Zoom H1n microphone with no effects, a Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge and an LG G5.

❤️What à lovely piece and what a wiew 😁
It looks so easy when you play, but I know it’s very hard, and WHAT A MEMORY YOU’VE GOT, playing whitout notes!
THANK YOU FOR SHARING❤️

[PiotrBarcz]

Nice sound! That piano has a good sample set, like most Casios :D I like this piece a lot!

[brotoubrotou]

Wonderful performance. Perfect speed too. As you get better and better please don’t think you need to race to the finish line. So many players fly through the pieces thinking it’s impressive but it really just sounds sloppy and they miss the subtlety and intricacies of Joplin’s rags. You have the magic touch.

[pjotrkolster]

HAHAH I love your deadpan expression. Did you take a peak at the keys underneath the sunglasses? :P
Still really impressive that you didn't look at your hands too much. I don't think I could do that. (OK maybe I could but it's still really impressive). Great performance! One would definitely think you'd have a few more years of experience under your belt. Really nice bass too, with the rolled 10ths and added 5ths

If you listen to others play this song you will find that yours sounds much more "Alive ".. JIm
