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 Sundaymorning set of all contemporary ragtime at the 2010 West Coast Ragtime Festival, so someone suggested he fill the time with Razor Blades, a popular barnburner 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.
