My grandmother would play this for us on her old upright piano when I was a kid. Thank you for sharing. :)

I love the things you learn about music when you pick a song and follow it's google trail...

[@sere7000]

My great Grammy used to play this for us everytime we went over her house, it sounded exactly like this everytime, thank you for posting , it brings back great memories

[@FrancisJoseph76]

Lovely old tune :) Thanks for posting. I'd love to own a player piano but I think I'll wait until I'm settled down later in life.... hard to move all that stuff between apartments.

[@danielmkubacki]

I love this tune! Cool Piano!

[@carlosss5707]

Awesome! Thanks.

[@steveschramko2386]

I guess I'll always associate this song with the scene from an old Charles Laughton movie (O'Henry's Full House, 1951) during which he (playing a vagrant) orders an expensive restaurant meal (never intending to pay, of course) while this song is played for many minutes. It is a memorable farce made even more memorable by the choice of this music....

I would recommend putting the microphone further away from the sound source. so much proximity makes it distort. I experienced that and decided to move the recording away to pick up a more ambient sound.

I made this many years ago using a dedicated video camera that didn't have a mic input. The camera placement was dictated by the image. I have a much better camera, now, it has a mic input, and I have a good microphone, but the tracker in the piano, which keeps the roll running true, has a developed a bad leather valve, so I just use it as a regular piano these days.

Thanks for sharing! Beautiful piano!

[@johnonorgan]

I like this a lot.....

[@cupcakegirl2339]

cool

[@rogerg4916]

I think it sounds better with the video playback speed set to 0.75.

[@vynneve]

ya it's played WAY too fast in most parts. issue with just changing the speed is that there are some parts with a much better speed. and of course speed can always vary to ones liking, but then you need each note to be clean and distinct, This piano is sooooo cloudy, it sounds awful honestly

[@richardcurry4912]

Turn the tempo down.

[@azz710]

I had the same thought, but this was the tempo on the music roll.

[@garygordon2572]

It would sound much better on a Duo Art or Ampico

[@JeffreyRBroido]

Well, thank you for pointing out that my instrument, made before either of those was conceived, is inferior. It would sound a lot better, played by a real musician, on my father's Steinway B, too. Now, if you'll just fade away, preferably sans pulse, that'll be just fine.

+Jeffrey R. Broido Well said. Bravo.

[@EpicLuigi24]

+Jeffrey R. Broido That's about the classicist comeback I've ever read.

Did you get out of the wrong side of the bed, today, then?
