I think this is one of the best rags that Joseph Lamb wrote. I know it is not a traditional Christmas song but I think it is a good song to play at this time of year. One of my favorite parts is when my hands cross.
This is a great one! I’m going to record this one for Christmas. Probably upload it as one of the later ones. Great to see you play it too! You’ve done a marvellous job once again. That hand cross part was interesting. Did you add that yourself or was it from someone’s arrangement?
To, Leanders' Parents, You've got such a wonderful child there. I wish I had kids or even just one but to be fortunate enough to be blessed with someone so special in your life, I hope you appreciate him as I'm sure that you do. Whatta pumpkin pie..
There you go again making me smile... I'm telling you that you are so amazing. When you looking at the camera and smile I could see the joy you experience when you're playing. You play so effortlessly I can hardly believe it. God bless you and thank you.
You make me so HAPPY because you are so happy as you play all of this wonderful music for us!! This piece was full of surprises - especially the crossing of your hands, which you played perfectly!! Thank you! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
What an incredibly talented young man. I’ve been watching these videos for a couple months and noticed he doesn’t use sheet music. I’m assuming he plays by ear? What an amazing gift!! Best wishes for this young man.
Not necessarily. You can learn a piece using sheet music, and then once it's committed to memory, you no longer need the sheet music. In fact, this is the more likely scenario.
A guy came in and took the piano apart and repaired it and tuned it. There's a picture of him on the Community page. It sounds much better now, I think.
@@PiotrBarcz He did a great job. The adjoining key, csharp below middle C, still has a noticeable 'thunking' sound when played firmly. It is amazing that the piano could sound that different.
@@johnbrinkerhoff8792 Yeah it's also just the fact it's a console with a compressed action that can never actually play up to par so the fact it's this good it's a miracle.
Yahoo!!! Perfection!!! You are an absolutely great pianist!! I hope to see you on stage playing at Carnegie hall or with a famous (concert band)!! Keep on keeping on! You can do it.
When your hands crossed, you never missed a beat. That was fantastic. Yes, this was a great choice for this time of year. Keep up the good piano playing!
So much fun! Plenty of energy to keep those reindeer flying. Kudos, Leander! The hand cross was impressive! It's always fun (and a challenge) to do that. Thank you for learning this song and sharing it. ❤
I think this is one of the best rags you’ve played. I loved every minute of it. Thank you for entertaining the country and the world almost every day but remember to rest your hands so you won’t injure them.
Looks like such a delightful, fun song to perform! I’m impressed with how he can look away from those big left hand jumps to smile at the camera while playing!
Way to go, Kid! You're really great at this. Wish I had you playing piano for me on many of the gigs I have played. Keep it up, you are a natural at this style of piano playing.
That was fun! Crossed hands almost looked like you couldn't figure out what hand to use! Christmas is coming, so the Reindeer have to get ready, so they dance! I think you should be called "Piano Roll", because you play anything and you do it so well. We all love your playing and your smiles! Thanks for making us happy! ☺👏🌲 Jerry
@@vidguy007 That’s who I thought of when he crossed his hands - the scene where Freddie is laying on the floor and he reaches up and starts to play. Young Leander is as talented a pianist as Freddy was a singer!

@@dylan-kerry I think I saw Corey Hall cross his hands when he played this song
I will watch your video
@Leander-piano Cory does the hand cross a lot, fun trick
@@PiotrBarcz
And not easy to do … except our your pianist here is excellent at it!
Crossing of the hands is so cool!
That's a great rag.
I love the way he looks over and grins while playing! Confidence and a sense of humor!
he should have been dressed as a gremlin
Reminds me of the lady on Lawrence Welk who always looked over and smiled while ripping up a ragtime some. Ooops. Showing my age...
You make the sun pop out of a cloudy sky ❤ And Every Reindeer I Know was Dancing -- REALLY ! --- Best Song Yet, Angel ❤
I am really glad that you liked it
To be honest, Leander, with your artistic ability, it doesn’t matter what keyboard you play on. Your musicality still shines through 👍🏻.
Ditto that!
Oh, he's having so much fun playing this, and I'm having so much fun listening. Thank you and Merry Christmas.
The reindeers will certainly know where your house is now.
There is no way anyone can be sad after watching you play
Amazing! What a wonderful gift you have. Thank you for sharing your talent and joy! 🤗❤️🤗
Wearing the Christmas hat makes anything you play a Christmas song.
I will remember that trick
What fun you do have on that lovely piano… whilst wearing an elf’s hat! Just perfect. 👏👍👏❤️
You just bounce as you play & enjoy the piano so much!! Keep playing!!
Thank you for bringing us Joy!!!!!!!!!!!♥♥♥♥♥
To, Leanders' Parents, You've got such a wonderful child there. I wish I had kids or even just one but to be fortunate enough to be blessed with someone so special in your life, I hope you appreciate him as I'm sure that you do. Whatta pumpkin pie..
You have given me a great big smile today. Maybe not as delightful as your smile but it’s a big one. Fantastic 🤗
Thank you so much for playing a Joseph Lamb rag! He continued to compose rags long after they had fallen out of fashion. A true master of the form.
@@robertklose2140 I will try to learn more songs by Joseph Lamb
@Leander-piano I would recommend "Ragtime Nightingale," a masterpiece, although it's a little long. See what you think, Leander.
I like the rag tunes on piano. You are very talented Leander. ⭐️👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
There you go again making me smile... I'm telling you that you are so amazing. When you looking at the camera and smile I could see the joy you experience when you're playing. You play so effortlessly I can hardly believe it. God bless you and thank you.
I felt really happy when I was playing this song.
I am glad it made you feel happy
What a wonderful rag and well played 👍 thank you Leander 😄
Expressive use of crossed hands 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻. I danced to the whole song💃🏼 thanks for helping me stay fit💪🏼🦶🏼
He's awesome at playing the piano...
Id love to see more videos...
You make me so HAPPY because you are so happy as you play all of this wonderful music for us!! This piece was full of surprises - especially the crossing of your hands, which you played perfectly!! Thank you! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
This is what music is all about, enjoying yourselve !
Loved it! 🦌🦌🦌🦌
Wonderful, as usual!
Once again a joy to watch and hear you play this great ragtime music. Not sure how I discovered your TH-cam channel but really glad I did
100% Natural Talent on display here!
As well as some hard work, I should think.
@@KarlSmith-p5r Yes, but much easier for people that can register all the notes in their heads and through their ears.
Mr.LEANDER....Very nice. Also??? Kudos to the camera person for keeping the camera steady. Thank You!!!
He reminds me of Joanne Castle (Lawrence Welk fame), the way he looks at the camera while playing.
Yes! He does! I love that grin he shares! He’s obviously a very happy young man!!
We used to watch Lawrence Welk when I was a kid growing up, and we always called Joanne Castle “The Happy Lady.” 😊
@
She sure seemed as if she was having fun, didn’t she??’
You play everything so expressively. It’s always a pleasure to see you enjoying yourself too.
The splendor you fill that house with -- being a fly on the wall would be an honor! Assuming flies have good hearing...
They certainly feel the vibrations and be happy
What an incredibly talented young man. I’ve been watching these videos for a couple months and noticed he doesn’t use sheet music. I’m assuming he plays by ear? What an amazing gift!! Best wishes for this young man.
Absolutely Amazing !😂😂😂❤❤❤
He also takes time to smile at the camera.😂😂😂
Not necessarily. You can learn a piece using sheet music, and then once it's committed to memory, you no longer need the sheet music. In fact, this is the more likely scenario.
The Piano Guys love your videos and your playing.
Wow !!! Thank you for letting us watch your talent !
Everyone lets get up and dance.....Nice and energetic makes for a happy piece. Thanks Leander.💯👍
If you are feeling low 😢, Just listen to this young man play the piano😂, and I Guarantee, He will up lift your sprit !😂😂😂❤❤❤
@@georgefieldsjr.640 Thank you
I am glad that this music makes you happy
@Leander-piano Yes it Does ,☺❤❤❤
Certainly not traditional Christmas, but it’s always nice to shake things up once in a while. Love you, keep playing and smiling!❤❤❤❤
I love it Leander! Those reindeer are really dancing and prancing to that one! ❤
So fun!! Lovely playing, and very good memory work! Thank you, and Merry Christmas!!!❤👏🎄🎉🎄
Leander ya are making the reindeer dance all over the snow Great one ✌️❤️
Awesome!
👍😍 Merci petit lutin du Rag ! 🙏🏻 🥰❤️
Such a fun tune!! 😄🎉
You did it again Leander. Nice job!😊❤
Thank you, it's wonderful!
Leander always brings happiness into the lives of me and my family. Thanks as always for being you 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
The stuck key is repaired.......wonderful !!!!
A guy came in and took the piano apart and repaired it and tuned it. There's a picture of him on the Community page. It sounds much better now, I think.
@@vulpo It got a tuning and action regulation at long last.
@@PiotrBarcz He did a great job. The adjoining key, csharp below middle C, still has a noticeable 'thunking' sound when played firmly. It is amazing that the piano could sound that different.
@@johnbrinkerhoff8792 Yeah it's also just the fact it's a console with a compressed action that can never actually play up to par so the fact it's this good it's a miracle.
@@PiotrBarcz You are right, and it is a spectacular difference.
Yahoo!!! Perfection!!! You are an absolutely great pianist!! I hope to see you on stage playing at Carnegie hall or with a famous (concert band)!! Keep on keeping on! You can do it.
Bravo......
So much fun,, again!
Simply stunning! Thank you, I didn't know this one :)
When your hands crossed, you never missed a beat. That was fantastic. Yes, this was a great choice for this time of year. Keep up the good piano playing!
That was great 👍
great playing young man
I was showing this to my wife, and she recalled when she learned about crossing her hands. We just love to watch your videos!
This is the best thing I've seen all week. It made me smile. Thank you.
So very cheerful 🎉 I love how you play so well with your handovers 😊 bravo
Awesome 👍😎
Terrific! What a God given talent😊
So much fun! Plenty of energy to keep those reindeer flying. Kudos, Leander! The hand cross was impressive! It's always fun (and a challenge) to do that. Thank you for learning this song and sharing it. ❤
One of a kind. So special. Love it.
Well this is the most adorable thing I’ve seen in a long time. Such a cute kid!!! 😆🥰
No sheet music! What a delight to start the day. Thank you.
Great job... Keep on with your talent and make people happier.
😊 Thanks, thumbs up, have a great day.
Pure joy
A jolly jaunt mostly well played by this youngster, I enjoyed his rendition despite the slips...
I think this is one of the best rags you’ve played. I loved every minute of it.
Thank you for entertaining the country and the world almost every day but remember to rest your hands so you won’t injure them.
Wow!! I love it!
I think rags are your favorite…you always play them with such a happy feeling. ❤
What a nice boy to play like this. He has a career waiting. God Bless him and his family.
I love your videos - always makes me smile!
Awesome! I really enjoyed listening. What talent! Thank you.
You look like Santa's little elf wearing that hat. 🤗👍
Thanks for giving me a reason to smile on a downer day. ❤
I don't know how your videographer can take those steady shots... how to keep from dancing while shooting!!
I was thinking the same thing!! My feet are dancing every time I watch this young maestro!!
Shopping malls should hire you, dress up like an elf, not as Santa's helper but to play Christmas tunes while children are taking pictures with Santa.
WOW, that was great. I love that piano, excellent. You brought smiles to a thousand people.😊
Looks like such a delightful, fun song to perform! I’m impressed with how he can look away from those big left hand jumps to smile at the camera while playing!
That was fun! More, more… I love your channel!
I will post another video today
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
You’ve got great hands for the piano - nice long fingers and wrists with a good span, too!
So fun, what a talent. Somebody’s gotta get him a pedal he can reach, and it’ll take his performance to the next level.
Anyone else noticing the number of views Leander is getting for each video. You’re doing fantastically Leander, Congratulations
Bravo młody człowieku , jesteś świetny w tym graniu ragetime'a Lamba👏
I could tell that playing this piece made you happy. It certainly made me happy to listen to it. You have a great sense of syncopation too.
Love it .great start for 2025🎉🎉
Very festive!
Way to go, Kid! You're really great at this. Wish I had you playing piano for me on many of the gigs I have played. Keep it up, you are a natural at this style of piano playing.
That smile!! ❤
Splendide , étonnant.
He's doing stride piano like it's nothing! Way to go!
That was delightful. You are a natural entertainer.
Sweet and Lovely.
From Mexico great job. Loved the music, very up beat.
Keep playing young man. You have a magnificent future.
What a wonderful rag, Leander! Bravo! 👏🏻👏🏻🎹
Terrific! Thanks for the musical gift to us, and may your Christmas and New Year be filled with all good things!

Crossed hands. . . I’d love to see him play some Queen, you know it will be good
@@vidguy007
That’s who I thought of when he crossed his hands - the scene where Freddie is laying on the floor and he reaches up and starts to play. Young Leander is as talented a pianist as Freddy was a singer!
Love it, thanks, Kiddo!
You’re amazing, so much discipline at such a young age - I’m jealous! Keep up the good work and Merry Christmas 🎄!
Love rags ❤
