BBR&EJF = The Annual Blind Boone Ragtime & Early Jazz Festival

Tune Title: "Mississippi Rag" ~ composed by composer William H. Krell, was published in 1897 and was the very first 'true' rag, a delightful two-step dance.

Piano wizards Tom Brier & Adam Swanson creating some pianistic fireworks at the very end of the Afterglow party after midnight at about 2:30 AM Friday morning. The audience was down to only two or three people since most every one else had already gone to bed. So, along with these two fantastic die hard piano players, Judy and I couldn't give up until the very end of this amazing jam session!
It was just too delicious!

The Annual Blind Boone Ragtime & Early Jazz Festival has been happening since back in the mid 1990's and is a wonderful way to spend a few days in early June. The music is fabulous and the performers are all top notch folks!
