Hey, nice post! I had read about him several years ago in the Chicago Tribune, but never did get a chance to hear him play. I've just ordered all 3 of his CDs and can't wait for the 4th one to come out!
Modern Day Ragtime Genius
I just read the about the artist Reginald Robinson in a Chgo Trib article. I can't say I'm a ragtime fan but was amazed by this musicians' background. Seems he spent a lot of time at home to avoid the gunfire in the housing projects. Then, taught himself the piano and ragtime after being motivated by the music from ice cream trucks. I thought I would bring this to the attention of others...read the article for your self at his website.
