I have been watching Rod since I worked at the park in 1991 and 1992. Rod is certainly a wonderful piano player, especially for some who plays by ear (in case you don't know, Rod can't read music. He learned Ragtime by mimicing piano rolls.)

Has anyone been able to duplicate Rod's certain unique ways of doing Ragtime and Slide piano? I have been trying for years, but with no luck. I have some of his tricks down, but some are just too difficult.

Both Piano players are amazing. Rod amazes me every time i see him. I could stand their and watch for hours. Considering I am not anywhere close to the level of their talent I have not been able to mimic their styles.
