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.

My great grandparents had a sheet music store and I was lucky enough to inherit their inventory. Stride, ragtime, cakewalk, I could listen to this music all day.

When the world of the wild west and pirates collide. This music is beautiful dude.

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.

@@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.

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.

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!
The crazy thing is when he does those Easter Eggs on the fly for all of us.
Always smooth sailing with Captain Bradlee at the helm! 😉 👍💖🎶

This guy's important ppl don't do what he does! Thanks Scottie!
I only heard the name a few weeks ago and this classic ditty has been fleetingly stuck in my head ever since. This helps to make the perpetual looping more nuanced, thank you.
I'm only here from the algorithm, but I genuinely keep forgetting that you're an already fantastically talented pianist outside of the Jukebox!
Just started to learn this on low whistle, put my whistle away to look into the tube to find this. Sometimes moments are simply perfect.
Man even Scott Bradlee's getting into the sea shanty stuff. It's getting everywhere.

this song inspires me to learn to play piano and I don't know what to think of that
I don't know what the best thing is (beside the music) about this video, the vest or the "turn and look" on the last note.
This certainly boosted MY morale
This combines the two best musical genres 👌
Ragtime Wellerman....that was AWESOME!! I was "chair dancing," very much enjoying your playing, sir!

The Wellerman and Ragtime, two of my Favourite things
Maravilhoso som e mãos mágicas! 💐
BRILLIAN! Best cover i've EVER heard!
Simplesmente maravilhoso
I loved all of the tempo and style changes
I love ragtime so much - this sounds awesome! 🙂 I liked the blended styles towards the end.
Je suis une fan de ragtime, formidable !! Splendide que du bonheur 🎉
For those of you not familiar with the piano: this is phenomenal playing!
Just......... WOW!! The ultimately best cover i've EVER heard! Thank you!
Left me speechless! Absolutly perfect and a true display of talent. Thank you for a beautiful and unique rendition of the Wellerman.
I just love this so much. I have listened to it several times a day since I discovered it. I tend to get obsessed.....but who wouldn't ? Amazing 🥰
첫 음절 듣고 설마 .. 내 귀를 의심하고 다시 돌려 들었네요 . 좋아요! 아름다워요 ~ 👍

Excellente musique, excellent pianiste !

Awesome! Congratulations to you (and to us, for being able to enjoy such wonderful playing)
Bravo Scott!De las mejores letras de piano vertical que e escuchado nunca
I’ve listened to this several times now. Fantastic music!
Oh heavens, this brings back many a piano lesson from when I was 14! I had a wonderful jazz piano teacher that was giving me a good grounding in ragtime style music, and seeing the beginning of this video, with the left hand playing a "stride" style brought every one of those lessons back. Very, very nicely done! You've earned yourself another subscriber, sir!
Me encanta, es impresionante la habilidad con la que lo hace. Buena interpretación.
Браво Scott, с нетерпением ждем концертов Вашего замечательного ансамбля.
