Nyan Cat piano arrangement sight-read by Tom Brier

It takes him a few minutes to wrap his head around this one. You can see the arrangement he's reading here: http://www.keeper1st.com/music/nyanca... . It was arranged by our friend Vincent Johnson, whose YouTube page is    / noveltypiano  

Of course, technically the name of the tune is "Nyanyanyanyanyanyanya!" composed by someone in Japan who is known as "daniwell". His web page is http://aidn.jp and his YouTube page is    / daniwellaidn   He has an album out now which features a few different arrangements of this song as well as several other songs. Here is a video daniwell shot of himself playing it:    • ^･ω･^)ﾉ Nyan Cat Piano  

The Pop Tart Cat was a separate entity by cartoonist Christopher Torres a.k.a. "PRguitarman" whose YouTube page is    / prguitarman1   . The two were merged together (using a remixed version of the song) by YouTuber "saraj00n" to create the bizarre sensation that is known as Nyan Cat:    • Видео  

This sight-read was at the end of the March 2012 meeting of the Mother Lode Ragtime Society at the Sutter Creek Ice Cream Emporium, 51 Main Street, Sutter Creek, California. http://www.suttercreekragtime.com
