Faye Ballard has been in love with ragtime music since age 7 when she learned her first ragtime piece called “Piano Roll Blues”. She has been a regular participant in the Word Old-Time Piano Playing Championship held in Peoria, Illinois since age 12 and has placed as high as 2nd. When she’s not working at her regular job as a full-time secretary for the College of Nursing at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign she spends her spare time playing ragtime music and entertaining at various local functions.
