Cork Piano Busker Plays Ragtime

[Pyreneenguy]

This is a first for me, uploading a video to Youtube.

Every time I pass through Cork, I like to see if I can find the talented Piano Busker :- Damian Gilfoyle. On this occasion, I found him on Paul Street, not far from Tesco's. I asked if he could play me a little ragtime and he did :

Due to a very limited upload speed, the original 1920/1080 video is only available at 480 maximum. The sound though is very good.

Enjoy !

He is quite good.

Though I didn't think I'd ever hear the term "piano busker"!

Well I guess that's what he is !

It would certainly be more difficult to do that on the London underground

This thread title reminded me of the joke about a headline in an Irish newspaper:

"CORK MAN DROWNS!"

Bump - just the once !

I hope he earns plenty of money. More power to his fingers!

I'm just giving this a bump as I have discovered the piece's title, it's Reflection Rag by Scott Joplin. With thanks to Adam Swanson, a very talented pianist from Durango, Colorado who helped me out.
