Keep coming back to this performance as the best one out there. His numerous embellishments all manage to enrich the piece without being tacky and he never overplays the tempo. His slick little improvised ending is impeccably executed too. Bravo John. Joe Lamb would've approved.

His playing across the board shows a combination of cultivated and secure rhythmic pulse with thoughtful shaping of each phrase. I remember his playing from the Scott Joplin Festival in Sedalia, Missouri. He was awesome.

NNNNEVER tire of this performance!! I overwhelm at the thought that in my opinion DR Lamb compsed his masterpiece history making "rags" on little more than a casual music education! How much or how little were his sisters able to teach or coach Joe?? overwhelms me the quality of DR LAMB's work!!!! what a high! I'll brave this statement: "ragtime and fats waller stride piano WHO NEEDS DRUGS??? I never have!!!

Funny you should mention banjo pickin -- I was just thinking that John Arpin was the only pianist I knew who could make a three-piece orchestra out of his instrument (piano, banjo and bass). We're missing him.

Marvelous concert version of this rag! Anyone having problems with the tempo can just twiddle the KZitem gearwheel! I set it at 1.5 speed and am totally marveling at his touch and phrasing as well as fantastic embellishments!

Steinwaygrand, it is available. I uploadd it but now I don't have access to any KZitem videos but there must be a problem with my player in my computer. I can't download the newest version. I don't know if there was a change at KZitem but I have the same problem with other sites, too, so it's MY problem. I never took the Arpin-video away, it must be visible on KZitem. Tamas

Interesting version. Yet the printed score of Bohemia should be respected ... that is what Lamb expected. I have played it for over than 25 years.

According to family, Lamb loved hearing his rags played "in unusual ways" (I presume sometime... maybe not all the time!). Anyway, while he was alive, his favorite version of any of his rags was Wally Rose's recording of "Top Liner Rag" which is certainly not exactly like the score, but is really great, and can be heard here: kzitem.info/news/bejne/zpiGz5lroah3gmk
