The Disney Connection
14 June 2010 in News by MichaelI just spent a day at Disney’s California Adventure with some friends, and it reminded me of the strong affinity for Disney shared by more than one of our Entertainers.
In addition to the early 1900s setting of Main Street USA, which was modeled on Walt Disney’s home town of Marceline, Missouri, Disneyland (and World) both feature quite a bit of ragtime music. In fact, Disney is one of the few places that employs a full-time ragtime piano player. (At least that’s what we heard.)
Check out this video of longtime Disneyland Ragtime Piano Player Rod Miller playing the Maple Leaf Rag. It’s pretty darn good.
