Wow, that was simply fantastic!! What a masterful job.

Wonderful!

I loved this!!! Such a great mix of Eubie and you. I listened three times in a row!

Congratulations on this WONDERFUL interpretation of a very important piece of the repertoire. I do love your rhythmic variants in the left hand part too. Bravo Will!

Hello Will, one of your overseas fan, that is myself! Is absolutely delighted with your interprétation of the great, late Eubie Blake... Thank you so much, great Job.... l happenned to see a video from the 1972 Jazz Festival in Berlin, Germany, where Eubie Blake was so proud to explain to the hudge public, how he himself wrote that piece in 1899, and he performed it, with so much wit, and joy in his 89th year... I must say, he didn't play any faster than what you did Will, this so close from the composer's version!!! Congratulations👏👏👏☺️💐

Dude this is a sick arrangement. Nicely done! You shape the melody with your left thumb like an absolute boss in that first part. I really enjoy the videos you're putting out. Keep it up man.

Excellent performance! Love your tempo - has that perfect sweet spot of being fast enough but not too much as to lose its "strut".

Thank you so much Jacob! I got the inspiration from hearing Paul Asaro play it slower many years ago.

Awesome performance!! I think Eubie Blake is smiling from above!

Bravo! 👏🏻

Wow, this is great Will! Have watched many videos of you playing when you were younger, but didn’t realise till now that you had your own channel. Have just subscribed and look forward to future videos.

How many pianos do you have? xD
