A Poll vote: Play the Piano or Not?

I made video shot of me playing Ragtime music on my piano last week and was looking around for a good subtitling program (free hopefully) that I could use. And I came across BubblePly. So, my problem is solved for the moment. Just a few more cropping to do. I have the transcript ready since I signed some and talked some. And now, before I go further, I'm putting out a poll vote if you would like to see a video tape of me playing the piano. And, yes, I play just like this guy here below in the video clip playing the Maple Leaf Rag of which I've already taped myself doing it. Here's the Maple Leaf Rag music sheet for you to see what it looks like (Page 1, Page 2 and Page 3). I play page 1, 2 and part of 3. Now, how many deaf or hard of hearing persons do you know that play the piano? Or any musical instruments? Not very many, eh?

The problem with my playing is because of my piano. It has a shorter keyboard which prevents me from playing the deeper octave notes and some of the keys stick on the keyboard which messes up my playing from time to time. So, I can't play like I want to nor do I enjoy playing on that piece of..., well. You know. Hence, my goal in getting a good piano somebody. Preferably a baby grand piano.


Maple Leaf Rag played ultra fast.


Now, here's the poll vote. In my video clip I play "Maple Leaf Rag" and "The Entertainer." Both written by Scott Joplin.
