Ragtime Party -- Castle House Rag

Jack & Chris Bradshaw lead the way in this jam session performance of James Reese Europe's famous Castle House Rag, written for the celebrated dancers Vernon & Irene Castle. Beside them are Steve Drivon on snare drum and Martin Podhrazsky on banjo. On their right are Julia Riley on piccolo, and behind them is Robyn Drivon on tuba. In the next room on another piano are Tom Brier and Will Perkins. (Will had not played this tune before, so he's sight-reading and just trying to do the best he can under the circumstances. Tom remarks to him at the end that the tune does have some unexpected things in it.) This was several hours after Tom's concert at Skunk Hollow in Sutter Creek, California, September 2010. The camera shaking for a while there is the result of me stamping a foot for the "stoptime" portion of the tune since Steve had no bass drum with which to keep the rhythm for that section. I think I posted another rendition of this tune by many of the same folks at an earlier ragtime party... but what the heck; it's a fun tune played in a fun atmosphere!
