The best music trend of the past year was clearly the rebirth of the sea shanty on tiktok -- after all, what better way to keep morale high during the lockdowns of the past year than a genre of music designed to foster a sense of community on extended seafaring journeys? Here's my ragtime version (with a few variations) of "Soon May The Wellerman Come," as recently popularized by The Longest John.

Killer playing. I just wish more people knew how hard that stride bass is. It's like running full speed at a house with a key in outstretched hand, hoping the key finds the lock before your face finds the door.

I love your analogy. I have learned several pieces by Joplin and I'm always a little disappointed by how easy it looks because it sure takes a lot of work. It kind of just looks like bouncing around carefree but internally one really has to focus to land on the right chord.

When the world of the wild west and pirates collide. This music is beautiful dude.
@theungentleman 3 жыл бұрын
The wild west and pirates were not only very close historically they even overlap. Pirates and Cowboys could have (and probably did) run into each other.
@timothyfandrich1965 3 жыл бұрын
@@theungentleman Technically you are correct as pirates have existed all throughout history. But, I imagine that the original post was referencing the Golden Age of Piracy (a lá Pirates of the Caribbean) which existed during the early 18th century, long before the Wild West and Cowboys as they, as is culturally recognized, existed during the mid-to-late 19th and early 20th centuries.
@timothyfandrich1965 3 жыл бұрын
The Wellerman is not from the recognized age of piracy, ie the early 18th century. Sure, it is a sea shanty, but it is one that was sung by whalers/was written during the mid-to-late 19th century.

@@timothyfandrich1965 You're totally right, I confused the "Wild West" with the age of the american frontier.
@stenstone6264 3 жыл бұрын
Yeah... I just said pirates because "whalers" doesn't have the same ring to it :/ My thought process was more along the lines of "Wild West" and "Pirates" as genres.

This took me back... my grandaddy played ragtime and he and my piano teacher would go round robin, him teaching me syncopation, bass vamps, and driving my scales in the treble, she wanting me to learn slow & steady scales & arpeggios. I miss those days! So glad to find someone keeping rag piano alive and well... thank you!

Very, very nicely done! You've earned yourself another subscriber, sir!
