The true test of a professional is how very easy they make something look that is so very difficult for most folks to accomplish. Wonderful execution. Thank You for sharing. Greetings from Ontario, Canada.
I checked your channel and can only find 3 videos which the most recent is 3 years ago.? Pls make more. You're so good. I hope you can find time even if you're busy:)
Thank you for you comment. Yeah unfortunately those videos and especially practicing songs takes heaps of time. I hope I find the time in the future again. :)
It’s a variation of the Jingle Bell theme. I do not believe that it fits as a a form of a Rag. However this version is a delight to the most traditional version of Jingle Bells. It’s not a bad idea to put your own creative spin onto this most revered classic.
Wow. With Ben having so much skill and talent way back then, I'd love to know where he is today. Concert Pianist? Teacher? Orchestra leader? No posts in a long time. Are you still checking in?
Hey, thank you for your comment, appreciate it. I'm still checking in from time to time. Actually I did decide years ago not to go into the music industry, it's been my hobby ever since and I still like it that way. I play the guitar as well, and decided to make a shorter videos on Instagram. You can check me out here: instagram.com/barefoot.music?igshid=YTQwZjQ0NmI0OA==
Actually, that arrangement is by Johnny Hodges who was the piano player at Disneyland and was Jonny May's piano teacher. I know this because Johnny Hodges was my piano teacher and taught me this song when Jonny Mays was probably 5 years old. It was actually part of a medley of Christmas song all strung together.
@khinekhine613 He lives in Anaheim near Disneyland and although he is mostly retired from teaching he still plays sometimes at Orange County Ragtime Society events and will sometimes pop over to Disneyland to play an impromptu song or two.
Practiqué para la pieza durante unas 4 semanas. Comparativamente me resultó fácil, también pensé que necesitaría más tiempo. Gracias por tu comentario. :)
Hi Ben, this is great but very fast,do you play a slower version of this ? Medium beat if so could you post it up to youtube.many thanks Doug (selwaystatues)
Well how to say that... it will always kinda hurt, you just have to get use to it. Generally you're using your nails to do that so one day your nails will be enough strong and it will hurt a bit less... But still it will hurt.
Just subscribed, are you OK with me using the sound track for a Christmas montage in making for Advent. I will credit you and put a link to your channel.
Yeah nah not exactly. I played the song first on my keyboard and recorded it there. After that I made that music video and played it in the same speed. So there was no speed up...

So much fun! Great job. Do you have the sheet music for that?
Wow.
With Ben having so much skill and talent way back then, I'd love to know where he is today. Concert Pianist? Teacher? Orchestra leader?

Holy shit! How can a human being do that?
Wow
This is awesome. I want a looped version of this that just goes on for hours.
Genial
Woah! :D Amazing job!
Piano: he played me :)
I know he did Piano 😊
I don't know why, but the fact that he hits those low notes with his right index finger just made me laugh.
Merry Christmas for 2022. Happy New Years 2023!
Wow!
This is way too much fun! And on an upright piano!

Sure bud
You are correct. Johnny Hodges taught me for 5 years and he taught me this arrangement.
@@Mousehansenwhere is Johnny H located? is he still teaching?
@khinekhine613 He lives in Anaheim near Disneyland and although he is mostly retired from teaching he still plays sometimes at Orange County Ragtime Society events and will sometimes pop over to Disneyland to play an impromptu song or two.
@@Mousehansen thank you, Mr.Hansen.
if you eve feel sad and want to have instant smile on your face. watch this video.
EVERYTHING is better in RAGTIME! 👍😊👍
😍😍
Hahaha! Zu witzig…. Super!!
Wou cuanto tiempo te llevó tocas esto? Es sorprendente.
Practiqué para la pieza durante unas 4 semanas. Comparativamente me resultó fácil, también pensé que necesitaría más tiempo. Gracias por tu comentario. :)
@@MusicwithBen gracias, saludos. Feliz navidad
Por favor indicar el nombre del chico que toca el piano. Magistral.
Супер!!!!
Hi Ben, this is great but very fast,do you play a slower version of this ? Medium beat if so could you post it up to youtube.many thanks Doug (selwaystatues)
You can just...play it slower, lol
Yeah I could, but it's supposed to be this fast. 😉
Wow ! Is so fast for jingle bell
Gigantisch
Very good!👍But... were is the smile on your face?😊😊😊
The song is hard work, I have to concentrate and so I forget to smile. ;)
I am the same as you! And one day I realized that the main thing in our business is a smile!😀😉
Well, I never liked Johnny May's fast insane arrangements but I can't say that I wasn't amazed!
Feliz Navidad
How do you do those glissandos? I try sometimes and I know it hurts something awful!
Well how to say that... it will always kinda hurt, you just have to get use to it. Generally you're using your nails to do that so one day your nails will be enough strong and it will hurt a bit less... But still it will hurt.
@@pankillheure You know how it's easiest to do those? You do it on a cheap keyboard with no weights on the keys
@@PiotrBarcz Actually if you use your thumbs nail it's the way it hurts the least. Try it. ;)
@@MusicwithBen Yeah I do try it xD It works, but only on pianos with aa light action, otherwise it's finger nail suicide xD
Now all we're missing is Shirley Temple dancing next to you while you play.
Incredible work!
If you put it in 2x speed it looks like Ben is on trucker speed
When the sleigh is a flying nine shire stallion sleigh
Where can I find the sheet music?
You can contact me via email (musicwithben25@gmail.com) and I'll tell you then. :)
¡Brillante!

Thank you very much! Yeah of cause you can use that song for your montage. It'll be an honor for me. :-)
Goes live tomorrow morning see th-cam.com/video/k082WXZMeK4/w-d-xo.html
Thanks
Could you ragtime a song called "Circus Gallup" ?
I would love to hear that. I'd love to see anybody even try. 😁😃🤨😆🤔😂
yee👋
Sounds kinda like the banjo kazooe theme😂
Batman smells!
💙 🙉 🎉
This is just a MIDI file being played over a sped up video.
Yeah nah not exactly. I played the song first on my keyboard and recorded it there. After that I made that music video and played it in the same speed. So there was no speed up...
Everything sounds better played in rag time. Even death metal.
What piano is this?? It's so goood!
dude :)
Wow!
