  • At about quarter to 2 a.m. after the first day of the West Coast Ragtime Festival, Vincent & Tom were having a fun battle of the keys.
    This excerpt begins with "If You Knew Susie Like I Know Susie".
    Then Tom mixes it up by playing it in minor.
    Then Vincent mixes it up by switching to "Somebody Stole My Gal".
    Then Tom mixes it up by changing the key signature.
    As Vincent plays an arpeggio at the end, Tom begins making up something.
    Vincent uses that as an intro for "When You Wish Upon a Star".
    These two can go on all night... in fact, they already had!
    Vincent, up much later than most 16-year-olds would be allowed, is on the grand piano to the left.

    It is such a joy to see these two having fun playing together. How I miss Tom's laugh, his playing and the joy that he had in it and the joy he gave to so many others. This is typical of "Tom humor" and Vincent's quick response and reply to every new wrinkle in the music. I don't know why I have never seen this before. Thanks, Ron.

      That laugh got me too. I hate to be dancing around the room trying to avoid the sharp furniture corners and just start crying ... for no particular rea... oh yeah. Thanks from me, too, Ron. These are so special.

    Thank you Keeper1st for staying up and recording this great late night/early morning battle of the keys. It's a joy to listen to!

    There is so much incredible young talent around. And thanks to people like Tom that get an opportunity to show what they really can. He challenges them to their absolute limits and if possible a little over, just like any good teacher would do. I really love this video, if only for the sheer fun of it.

    Tom Brier’s “intro” to ‘When you wish upon a star’ is lovely. Such talent!

    It breaks my heart to see at 1:15 all front-row seats empty!!! :cry:
    What a privilege it would be to be sitting there!
    Time machine, I am waiting for you! :rofl:

      @@bachaddict Oh there may have been a few more ear-pairs in the room. Some of us thought one of best times at the festival was after After Hours and checked out all the piano rooms to see who was carrying on. (Both Tom and Adam had been performing since 9am the previous morning, of course - they're still wound up.)

    You won't say Tom has hands of steel after you see the next video I'll post with him. It's of a tune he wrote called "Meditation"...

      It's there so the performer can know exactly what time it is and how many other numbers he/she can play 🙂

    This considered an after-glow party?
