Info about Eubie Blake:
Everyone cherished Eubie Blake, particularly in his later years. A lovable character who had survived a long lean period, in the 1970s he was the last major survivor of the ragtime era. While a few of his claims ended up being fictional, the fact that he was still performing joyful vintage music in his nineties was remarkable enough.
James Hubert “Eubie” Blake always said that he was born in Baltimore, Maryland on February 7, 1883, but in 2003 it was discovered (through research into the U.S. Census, his social security records and passports) that he actually arrived on February 7, 1887. His parents were former slaves and Eubie was the only one of their children to survive more than a few years.
When he was four or five, Eubie was in a music store with his mother and started spontaneously playing some ideas on the organ, amazing the store manager. Soon his parents purchased an organ and at seven he began receiving music lessons from a church musician and he was soon doubling on piano. When he was 15 in 1902, he worked as a pianist at Aggie Shelton’s bordello in Baltimore, the first of many jobs he had performing rags and popular melodies from the era at sporting houses, saloons, and with medicine shows.
