What are you listening to ?

Another one I'd never heard of until today. Jeez, where are these guys hiding? Yeah, I know, they aren't really hiding, they are usually out touring 250 days a year building a fan base one at a time. I never hear them on the radio, all you hear is crap.

 
I favorite of mine I used to play when I had a piano. This is the proper tempo; most people play ragtime way too fast which is a mystery to me because on the sheet music it always has Scott Joplin's notation at the top saying "it is never right to play ragtime fast." This is a pretty nice version played with expression instead of just pounding it out mechanically. Scott Joplin was a real innovator who introduced a whole new style of music.
 
Never caught this band in concert, too bad, they played very tight live, the drummer is noteworthy...so is freelance percussionist Lenny Castro who plays with Joe Bonamassa sometimes...
