Tom Brier -- Razor Blades

This is one of Tom’s more than 200 ragtime compositions. The sheet music is available in “The Music of Tom Brier, Vol. 2“. He had a couple minutes left at the end of his traditional Sunday-morning set of all contemporary ragtime at the 2010 West Coast Ragtime Festival, so someone suggested he fill the time with Razor Blades, a popular barn-burner of his. The bad shaking when I zoom in actually isn’t me; it’s the camera’s image stabilization system. The fast movements of Tom’s hands are confusing the system into thinking the camera is shaking, thus it moves the view around.
