I was on that other group when people started flinging racial slurs and epithets. It is my sincere hope that that won't happen here and if it does the...
Hi, Fred. Good to see you here. My hope is that with this group we can carry on decent, respectful, discussions of ragtime music. To help keep things in order,...
Dear Everyone, I would like to make everyone aware that a new Ragtime Group has been started (in case you're not already aware of it). They can be found here: ...

Let me start by saying my passion is Ragtime! My hope is this group will be a place where both musicians and fans can mingle and talk about ragtime, ragtime...
Someone - I think Fred - began a thread in another group that I'd like to pick up on, and perhaps add to. Namely, when did we first discover ragtime? ...and...

Hey, Brent, where did you dig up this recording? Who's playing? I don't think I had ever heard a recording of "I'm Certainly Living A Ragtime Life." The tune...
Bryan, Why that would be yours truly - hastily arranged and recorded this afternoon in my studio - just for this group! "Building the best darn ragtime group...
Hi, Brent. Wow! I *am* impressed :) The thought crossed my mind while listening that it might be you, but I don't think I've ever heard you sing before, so I...
Bryan, Don't be mislead - this was already in my repertoire, you just gave me an excuse to lay down the track. Glad you liked it. I suppose I should post a...
Hello, My name is Rachel Newstead--I'm a regular poster to the rec.music.ragtime newsgroup, and sometime poster to the Ragtimers Yahoo group. I've been a fan...
Hi Bryan. Max Morath recorded Ragtime Life on no less than three of his early albums, two of them live, and was still doing it when I met with him and saw his...
Rachel, Welcome! We'd all be delighted if you shared some of your compositions. I too remember that PBS special - and also an NPR Special with Eubie that...
Bill, You raise an interesting point - Bryan - what are your known limitations for featuring material on the Radio station? I too have items in my collection...
My edition of That American Rag! by Jasen and Jones lists a "Princess Rag" as having been self published in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Dick Zimmerman has tried...
Brent, I must say, that is a most amazing and fascinating account you've shared with us. I only wish I'd gotten involved at a younger age. At age 13 I had not...
For those who are no longer monitoring the "other" yahoo groups, I posted the following message there to try and create an atmosphere of awareness and...
Hi, I'm a new member making his first post to the group, so I'm sure I've missed much of the thread so far. I teach American music history subjects and...
Hi my name is Eytan and I am addicted to ragtime. It goes back to childhood. You see, the ice cream truck would drive by house daily, every summer, blasting...
(And our monotone chorus of members say:) HELL-O EY-TAN. As you know in "Ragtimers Anonymous" confessing your addiction is the first key to recovery. Let me...
Wow! I listened carefully to the entire file. Very nice! You have a good sense of melody. Thanks for sharing. Do you play this on the piano? ...or was...
More and more people are joining the list every day--it's great to see so many rag-o-philes here :) Again, welcome! I'll just chime in with my little "how I...

Bryan, Alas - ragtime has saved many a young piano student from the eternal tedium of what our teachers thought we should be learning. Man, those Rifkin albums...
We have now had several fascinating posts on our personal Ragtime experiences and explanations as to why we like it so much. (Some of us, including yours...
Tom, Great post! Actually, your timing in joining us couldn't be better, as we are just getting this group off the ground! I too share your profound interest...
