"Don't play this piece fast. It is never right to play ragtime fast."
- Scott Joplin -

While working on my Steemit Library,

I've been listening to some assorted YouTube music in the background. Yesterday, I was pleasantly surprised to discover an amazing guitar performance.

I heard "The Entertainer" playing.

I've always loved that piece by Scott Joplin, and in fact, years ago, learned to play it as a piano duet when my son was taking piano lessons. I stopped working on my Library to investigate what was playing. It sounded like a guitar.

When I opened the active YouTube window, I was surprised and pleased to discover a gentleman playing "The Entertainer" on guitar.

Richard Smith is an amazing guitarist.

I don't recall ever hearing "The Entertainer" performed before on anything other than a piano. Mr. Smith's performance is as amazing to watch as it is to listen to.

As the old saying goes,

"There's more than one way to skin a cat."

I hope you'll enjoy hearing this cat skinned as much as I have.
