Chris Ware on piano
This isn't fair. Not only is Chris Ware a supremely gifted cartoonist, he can also play ragtime piano like nobody's business. Link (via Flog!)

Chris Ware shares his love of ragtime with MacArthur Genius Grant winner Reginald Robinson. In fact Chris heard Reginald playing in the winter garden of the Chicago Central Library one day and became fast friends. Here's a story from NPR on how the two of them found an entirely new song of Scott Joplin's. (its the fourth of four mini-segments.)

I've been a fan of Reginald ever since I saw him accompany the Squirrel Nut Zippers (in-between their first & second album) here in Chicago. If you get a chance to see him, by all means go. A nice Trib article about him. His CD on Amazon.

The Chicago Library's winter garden, where he used to practice, and where he & Chris Ware met (it's the nicest part of the building.)
