Jungle Book Rag - The Bare Necessities and I Wanna Be Like You - Disney Ragtime Piano Cover

[@JonnyMay]

Hey Kristen, it's Jonny May. You are sounding great! I love your arrangements - they are so fun and I love all the whimsical fills you throw in between the melody to keep it interesting. I hope Disneyland hires you very soon to play at Coke Corner because the guests would love you. Keep up the great work!

[@KristenMosca]

+pianowithjonny This means so much coming from you! Thank you Jonny, you made my day! ☺️

[@lonniemccoy6144]

+Kristen Mosca I just discovered you yesterday and quickly subscribed. I have binge watched all of your videos, and I think you're amazing. I've had so much fun listening to you play. I can't wait for what's next, you're a Star!!

[@bogdan-marianbudascu7296]

+Kristen Mosca.....Got to say it....Disney would be foolish not to let you entertain all of their guests. I'm following Jonny for quite some time and recently discovered you and I can only say I dig and love your style. Tweet, post, send some pigeons if you have to..but let us know when you become an all timer at Coke Corner because it's definitely worth a trip all the way up there ;)....till then...keep up the good work!

[@llarry2009]

+Jonny May just as you played it but kristen has more harlem than fanciness. and more swing feeling than speed.

[@samrowland5838]

Most people play ragtime too fast...

[@bassoon5175]

that transition was fricking smooth, having written out arrangements with crap transitions I appreciate that..damn

[@taketaketake0224]

That rhythm!!

[@colinpr7]

Look for the bare necessities The simple bare necessities Forget about your worries and your strife I mean the bare necessities Old Mother Nature's recipes That brings the bare necessities of life Wherever I wander, wherever I roam I couldn't be fonder of my big home The bees are buzzin' in the tree To make some honey just for me When you look under the rocks and plants And take a glance at the fancy ants Then maybe try a few The bare necessities of life will come to you They'll come to you! Look for the bare necessities The simple bare necessities Forget about your worries and your strife I mean the bare necessities That's why a bear can rest at ease With just the bare necessities of life Now when you pick a pawpaw Or a prickly pear And you prick a raw paw Well next time beware Don't pick the prickly pear by the paw When you pick a pear Try to use the claw But you don't need to use the claw When you pick a pear of the big pawpaw Have I given you a clue? The bare necessities of life will come to you They'll come to you! Oh man this is really living So just try and relax, yeah cool it Fall apart in my backyard 'Cause let me tell you something little britches If you act like that bee acts, uh uh You're working too hard And don't spend your time lookin' around For something you want that can't be found When you find out you can live without it And go along not thinkin' about it I'll tell you something true The bare necessities of life will come to you Look for the bare necessities The simple bare necessities Forget about your worries and your strife I mean the bare necessities That's why a bear can rest at ease With just the bare necessities of life With just the bare necessities of life

[@hi1guy1]

Impressive. Not just the laydown but that someone your age has a feel and appreciation for ragtime. Well done.

[@World-as-i-c-it]

If I could play like that, I would never stop! Love It !

[@freshchanclas349]

This has to be my favorite arrangement that you’ve made. The song is just amazing and fits perfectly with ragtime. Thanks for the awesome content!!!!

[@Guitrum]

Excellent job, Kristen! You really have a knack for ragtime

[@BaritoneUkeBeast4Life]

Bravo! This was absolutely wonderful! The Jungle Book is my favorite Disney animated movie, and also my favorite Disney soundtrack. You played this just incredibly. Thank you for this great performance. I saved it to my watch later so that I can watch it over and over again. I really enjoy your ragtime spin on all your songs it improves and enhances the songs immensely.

[@exitolaboral]

I love people who work and try to achieve things!

[@LandNfan]

Terrific! I love ragtime. I always think back the mid to late ‘60s when Shakey’s Pizza Parlors had a person playing ragtime piano at the peak hours. Good pizza, cold beer, and ragtime. What more could you want? They even took requests and I always put a nice tip in the jar when they played 12th Street Rag for me.

[@KristenMosca]

I wish I could’ve seen a time like that! 🥺

[@MarcsPiano]

Came here by chance and was not disappointed - great performance indeed! Keep it up! 👍

[@k6musicteacher]

Hello, I think Scott Joplin would be very pleased with your thoughtful efforts, thanks for sharing them with us!

[@davidschneider229]

found this Video today - thank you for sharing :)

[@zapatoscorreamujercorreamu3710]

just one word. OUTSTANDING. Sos una genia Kristen.

[@just1randomguy658]

Love the smooth shift to "I Wanna Be Like You", my favourite song from the Jungle Book

[@just1randomguy658]

3 years!? Whoa... Well guess what? "Wanna Be Like You" is still the best Jungle Book song, don't @ me.

[@Dennijr]

haha, your reactions at the end of your videos, you're such a nerd :P love it!

[@KristenMosca]

+Dennijr That's how I know who's really paying attention! ;)

[@philipboug]

Dennijr @Kristen... We all are!!

[@666LonesomeSailor]

yeah, her thumbs up made me thumbs up :D Not realy, I like it as it is but this music gives me a smile and that is so valuable!

I listened for a solid ten seconds and immediately clicked the subscribe button

[@DeanMk1]

You've got a good feel going on in Bare Necessities. Takes me back to when I was a kid and saw Jungle Book in the local theatre. Thanks. =)

[@chicag0384]

You have a special GOD given talent. I understand how hard you work but in the end when you play the songs it looks effortless and fun, that means your talent is very special. I hope you pursue a career in music.

[@garyhawkins-pianoteacherpi6490]

Chicag0 NO! No such thing as talent - we just work friggin hard! Professional musicians just sodding practice ! I can’t stand it when people say ‘aw you’re so lucky’ or ‘you have a gift’. It’s absolute bollocks - it’s the result of 30 years of dedicated 4 hours a day practicing. (OR MORE)

[@Maranatha1968]

She feels that music! 🤝🏼 She is playing with life!! Interesting piano by the way... 😉

[@jasonmichaelmorgan6207]

This is very solidly done and I would love to play at home! Very well done. We love to see it.

[@karlstanc4444]

Today I watched this video 25th time! I love the melody and I love listening to you playing it and watching you playing it! Thank you for playing!

[@debbiehariette6335]

your timing and composition are amazing, I love the I wanna be like you!

[@MrJohnKath]

Hey Kristen, good one. I'm going to play it tomorrow here in Germany during opened window on the violin. Seems to be the right piece against the corona-mood - as well as Hakuna matata!! ;-)

[@MrJohnKath]

Done. Would rather like to do so in the U. S. after seeing the news. Wish that you and your family stay healthy! My plan to visit the States will stay and be realized another time. Friends heard me saying "I wait until he is gone. Then I go."

[@lime8025]

You master the piano perfectly, well done

[@DoggieDoubles]

Kristen, this is AMAZING!!! ☆☆☆☆☆ Well done! :) Is there any chance that in the future you might make a piano cover of "Jungle Rhythm" from The Jungle Book 2? I love that swing that it has. Either way, fantastic cover here! Keep up the good work!

[@nickelstew]

Another nice rendition, as always!

[@shaker161db]

That was fantastic! Perfect placement and thumbs up smile at the end sealed the deal!

[@MrFHLH]

Go Kristen you are one talented lady, can listen to you playing all day. Bravo. I used to play piano a bit but a hand accident put pay to that, but never came even close to your high standard.

[@mishellerauth1966]

love ragtime and love this arrangement :) Keep making vids!! great job

[@kennethwood88]

That's great, I wish that I could transpose music like that. Because I'm sure that you did that on your own. That takes skill.

[@troyatnip6335]

You are Fantastic! I could listen to you play all day! Keep it up Kristen! ;)

[@scottreacher4620]

You're beyond talented! Awesome!

[@shingabiss]

Kristen, I love your jaunty and elegant playing!

[@Stew282]

Bless your little cotton socks - after a brilliant performance, you look dead proud when you hit the camera with your 'nailed it' face. Bravo!

[@AlittleOfEverything409]

you are so freakin good!!!!!! May god bless you to continue playing for many many years!!!! I enjoyed this so much!!!

[@Yaa-xt4kw]

Omg.. An excellent performer

[@alanwann9318]

Good wished for your music ,never stop . You are skilled

[@roberthunt236]

It is indeed rare to find such a lovely child prodigy ...white...with a love for ragtime music. Wonderful pianist...

[@lightshine2786]

Great smile at end. I enjoyed that song

[@ramirez412001]

You did an incredible job with this....great to listen to. Well done!

[@kc9kepextra460]

Particularly amazing left hand! Super! 😁

[@xx9full]

OMG, the dogs ate all the dwarfs

[@KristenMosca]

lolololol

[@Matias-op3nv]

Feeling a bit down today and this really helped brightened my mood. Thank you!!

[@NathanH83]

What’s crazy to me is that you have no sheet music in front of you. You just memorized it! That’s impressive

[@nathanturner9222]

This is brilliant !! Thoroughly enjoyed it 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@eileensickel]

Thank you so much for making my day happy

[@reginazwisler291]

Hey Kristen Möchte mich den Worten von Jonny May anschließen. Es ist solch eine Freude, Dir zuzuhören, Dich am Klavier spielen zu sehen! Du machst mir eine grosse Herzensfreude mit dem Dschungel-Rag. Ganz herzlichen Dank Dir! Du gibst Medizin fürs Herz! Danke, danke, danke vielmals! Herzliche Grüße aus der Schweiz

[@grauwolf1604]

Da schließe ich mich gerne an! Greetings from Germany!

[@yahliziv]

[@andymassingham]

Really great..kinda burst into tears at the transition. Keep swingin.

[@ZvikaDror]

Love what you do with familiar themes, Ragtime is great and you help to spread it! Bravo and best of music and friendships!

[@psw4763]

Love the Ragtime theme.

[@blacktigershearthstoneadve6905]

Great work, Kristen! Love it so much.

[@massimo150660]

I Wanna Be Like You is just perfectly played... Thanks a lot for this moment!

[@06comment]

Fantastic work - Really inspiring - Really enjoy the energy you put in to each piece.

[@askchristen]

Like your smile along with your playing! Keep up the good work and keep smiling

[@phitran1645]

I can’t wait to play this for my baby brother !

[@db2981]

Jungle Book was my first movie in cinemas as a young boy. Therefore all the songs from the movies belong to my alltime favorites! :) Thanks a lot for that amazing versions!! Love it! :)

[@SketchTV]

I will never understand how people play the piano with two hands. That seems way too confusing

[@kingpliar5537]

Just learn, that is all

[@BedardJ]

We play with two hands because playing with one hand would just be too hard ;)

[@jackkenefick2696]

SketchTV try playing the organ!

[@kavpk5925]

With practice, and a lot of dedication, you will realise that the two hands bit is just an illusion, I'm not a master yet, but already, I'm realising that the practice makes you realise that it is in fact one movement that works with the coordination of the two hands.

[@TheGimmoloso90]

Well, we have 2 hands, so why shall we play with 1 hand? There is no convenience at all, unless you have only one hand.

[@Wistbacka]

Just amazing.

[@jessejames1482]

I love jungle book so much I got it when my grandkids came along and they loved it to ..I hope you don't mind me singing along

[@Ryan-cy5yl]

you're amazing, lady. an inspiration!

[@veganwolf3268]

When I was eight, that was my favorite song!

[@bigdave6591]

I'm 54 and apparently I look like Balu 😂 but this is my favourite song

[@kodyhoule4729]

This is one of the best arrangements I've ever heard, well done.

[@HerveGraziana]

super interpretation ! bravo mademoiselle !

[@NickJohnston0670]

Great!! Brilliant version and well played too!

[@silliergoose69]

Wow sooo good!!! Very great

[@bat2293]

Loved the pop-up at the end: "Hi, I'm Kristen and I play ragtime...". Yes, Yes you certainly do! (Liked, subscribed... for quite a while now.)

[@andresquezada5399]

i love you!! you are so amazing with that piano

[@joesmith34]

Listening to your playing reminds me of my dad's playing. 1930s 40s 50s He was a pub pianist in England pianist and your style is kind of like his. Not critisism I enjoyed your playing Reminds me of Dad Thanks a lot.

[@WilliamBoyerPiano]

This is awesome! Rag style works so well with this particular song, and you play it wonderfully!

[@buddyboyes6033]

Wow! Very impressive. Time to send the DVD to Disney...

[@engelsanchez]

That was fun! I'm getting that sheet music right now. This will be a great excuse to get back to ragtime piano. Thanks!

[@grainnewray7026]

bring back the dwarves!!! they really did look good...love the arrangement...great playing as usual but the little dudes on top of the piano add more personality to your videos :)

[@wagonmaster1974]

Cool arrangement. Love the use of the trills. Good job!

[@aaronchris4005]

Nice stride piano playing

[@banjoboy01]

you go girl. just grow up and we have a winner

[@PhillusionYT]

[@keithhicks1750]

I’d give my right arm to play like that. Fantastic, thanks. 😊

[@guadalupepreciadodiaz4818]

Eres genial Kristen, felicidades desde España!👏👏👏👏

[@matthew.wildsmith]

I love all your Disney covers 🤗 (the rest too but especially the Disney!)

[@claudezimbelmann4511]

You are excellent. Love the choice of songs in your videos.

[@jean-michelraux6872]

Je suis un fan inconditionnel du ragtime. Si en plus c'est joué par une jeune et jolie fille alors la je craque complétement. BRAVO (çà vaux aussi pour les autres morceaux car tout regardé avec grand plaisir et plusieurs fois). Merci pour ces moments

[@herrlogan17]

Sounds very accurate and fun, great work there lady :)

[@terryofford4977]

Truly amazing for one so young, gee,I'd love to hear her play 'Honky Tonk Train Blues',and follow up with 'The Pearls'. That would make my day. This girl is a natural, so many people play Ragtime badly, without feeling, just simply rattling thrulike lightening, Ragtime had a short period within the Jazz Spectrum, (It- self another area where everything is fast and loud and lacks feeling from 80% of so called performers, This young girl has style, she's imaginative and adds coloration and good balance to the scales. TerryOfford

[@markt1387]

Superb Kristen!

[@WalterHolokai]

Great job! Beautiful!

[@wesackerman]

That was awesome, Kristen.

[@jazzmanzoot]

My favourite ! ! !

[@matthewiles5714]

An extremely talented girl. I thoroughly enjoyed this. Keep up the great work.

[@PeopleCanFly23]

please play easy winners by Scott joplin, my favorite rag!

[@tamalyncervin2117]

[@johnmshearing]

I was going to comment you should give us a smile. And then you did! Awesome playing.

[@alanatorrejon]

[@sunnysideupp1797]

[@SeeFreeTV]

I wanna compose music like you, and play the piano like you. Hey, I like that thing you did at the end.

[@kenjett2434]

Very impressive young lady and quite talented. Been a musician myself most of my life so I know talent.

[@PRR5406]

What a doll! Talented, pretty, and did I mention talented?
