Hi Adam, I live in Johannesburg South Africa and I've just found you today. I'm so blessed by your fantastic Ragtime music! You see, I grew up in a musical home where music filled every day/evening. My late uncle had a band and my late Dad together with him, played both piano & accordion in the band. So from birth really, I have known these glorious music pieces. My Dad also played the Hammond organ in the 60's. I was taken to see most of the film & theatre musica productions which I still love! I was in our High School musical Oklahoma as I sang in the choir! 😊 I too learnt piano and organ from 4 years by Dad then other teachers, I also did Ballet and Tap Dancing. These beautiful melodies brought back wonderful memories for me today and I hope to listen regularly to you from now on. I'm now primary caregiver to my hubby who now has BvFTD Dementia (been married 42 years), and your music will certainly lift my spirits a lot! Thank you for sharing your incredible talent!
Fantastic show😊. This would've been a great concert for "Remembering You" by Roger Kellaway/Carroll O'Connor. Everyone knows that pop rag tune. I'm sure it'll make it in another concert. I especially enjoyed "Old Cape Cod"...one of my favorite melodies that you played probably in what is now my favorite rendition. Great job-thanks!
Love your playing! I , too, am from Flint, MI. I had a piano teacher who would "mash" classical with Rag style of playing: Clementi, Scarlatti, Beethoven, Chopin, etc.. Hope you ewill consider doing the same some day. I did the same in high school with mixing the music of Motown (unfamiliar to you) with rag and stride piano. The students loved it! Good luck woth future endeavors!
I think the song you started out with was “Put Another Nickel in…”. I have always admired ragtime players. I like to see them at Disney World.” Have you ever. Played for silent movies?
LOL Over 100 years ago it took 2 PEOPLE to record piano music like this onto a PIANO ROLL. LOL. But NOBODY TOLD YOU. SO YOU DID IT YOURSELF!! YOU ARE A REVELATION!
loved winchester Cathedral - particuarly the hand-swap - your probably not worrired about it now, Adam, but palying the piano 'crossy-buckle' (in England crossind hands) stops you getting dementia.
I like this type of music. Julius Sell from Hermanus South Africa.
What a great talent you have!! I love to listen to you play. Thanks for sharing your talent with us. Your music makes me happy!!
What talent- fantastic! I play by ear and this is the sort of stuff I love.Thank you from Yorkshire in England!

Absolutely loved this program!,,,
I live in Tennessee and you are tops in my book❗️♥️♥️♥️
love your rendition of 'More'...beautiful...dts/usa
Loved your version of Alley Cat. Lots of piano humor.
very interesting to hear 'Brown Eyes Blue" as a ragtime rendition--usually more of a torch song...dts/usa
It's not supposed to be a ragtime rendition really! (I guess it comes out that way when I play anything... is it too happy? Lol)
enjoyed The Cantina Band--very nice...dts/usa
Adam you are such a talenred pianist Amazing !!
You are such a talented pianist ...😊!!
Oh Adam, its amazing as always ! - Especially your Version of "Java" makes me smile and feel happy :) - Bavaria/Germany
Unfreakenbelievable!
Love listening to you Adam!
Very cool. Never knew the piano could be cool.
You are one of the best piano players that I have ever heard. I love to listen to you. Well done and all of the best ahead
For someone who is not a country musician you have great taste in country music and artists.
Een heerlijk spel wat je laat horen gr Lies
I feel the same way you do about the Beatles but when I am 64 (which I passed 14 years ago) is my all time favorite Beatles song.
Beautiful playing.A true artist! .... from Fort Worth, Texas
Very nice melodies from a very talented young pianist Thank you Adam .
Especially like your rendition of “Crazy!”
Wonderful Adam, thank you keeping ragtime here today. Brilliant playing, from bega NSW Australia ❤
I'm going threw a break up. Dear gal.your music helps me .

Fabulous concert, thanks, Adam!👍👍👍👍👍
Great show ! great music ! Good to hear some Hank Williams tunes ! and Bent Fabric ! Nice ! Awesome playing ! Love it ! Thanks !
Adam, thank you so much for playing such memorable music in such soothing style! 😊
Greeting here from Aalborg Denmark Thank you Adam
I love your music !
I like your idea! I heard once “Down Yonder” done as a ragtime. I am from Winter Haven, Florida.
Fantastic show😊. This would've been a great concert for "Remembering You" by Roger Kellaway/Carroll O'Connor. Everyone knows that pop rag tune. I'm sure it'll make it in another concert. I especially enjoyed "Old Cape Cod"...one of my favorite melodies that you played probably in what is now my favorite rendition. Great job-thanks!
Enjoyed you at Blackwood both events.
Love your playing! I , too, am from Flint, MI. I had a piano teacher who would "mash" classical with Rag style of playing: Clementi, Scarlatti, Beethoven, Chopin, etc..

Reba Waller about the 3rd tim time and you are awesomely fantastic ❗️♥️♥️♥️
Now you have me thinking about the songs of my youth and which ones can be Ragged! 1967-75... I'm in the Diamond Belle demographic of being 70YO. !!!
My first guess won't work!! Jeremiah Was a Bullfrog, will just never go ragtime!!
Love the Star Wars Cantina Band!
yes. Piano fun and humor from Adam.
I think the song you started out with was “Put Another Nickel in…”. I have always admired ragtime players. I like to see them at Disney World.” Have you ever. Played for silent movies?
I think a lot of Beatles tunes would rag very well-- Maxwell's Silver Hammer, When I'm 64, Penny Lane, etc.
Have you done anything with In Blueberry Hill?
Loved the Hank Williams medley.
My own personal sing-along 😊
Do something one day with On Mocking bird Hill ❗️♥️♥️
LOL Over 100 years ago it took 2 PEOPLE to record piano music like this onto a PIANO ROLL. LOL. But NOBODY TOLD YOU. SO YOU DID IT YOURSELF!! YOU ARE A REVELATION!
Also you are adorable.
Rag is the best!!
loved winchester Cathedral - particuarly the hand-swap - your probably not worrired about it now, Adam, but palying the piano 'crossy-buckle' (in England crossind hands) stops you getting dementia.
Could you give lessons and tutorial for you have a special technich
Could you play paper roses with Mary Osmond

Yes, quite often. Just check for my concert entitled "Boogie and Blues." But I do not teach online.
