This year marks the 125th anniversary of the birth of James Herbert “Eubie” Blake. He was the last known living ragtime pianist when he appeared on the second season of Piano Jazz. On this program from 1980, Blake remembers his vaudeville days and writing classics like "Charleston Rag" and "I'm Just Wild About Harry." Blake and McPartland get together for duets on "St. Louis Blues" and "The Star Spangled Banner."
