... There's also Joseph Lamb's "Arctic Sunset", published in the "Ragtime Treasures" folio, which is a sonatina of sorts in three movements. -John -- John...

Bill, Don't worry. We will all say nice things at your memorial service. Rest in Peace, Todd...
My friend, conductor and composer Gordon Wright (based in Indian, Alaska and music director of the Arctic Chamber Symphony), has composed/arranged a...
Greetings all. I'm still alive, but I have two shows to go today, so I don't know. I wanted to make a couple of comments on the titling of rags if I may, and...
By the way, Bill, I found a song with music by George Botsford titled "Pride of Prairie." Unless you wrote yours before 1913, I think he beat you to the name!...
... I truly hate Yahoo. My last post included Bill's original letter, but not my response. Here, goes, one more time: Bill, I know you weren't necessarily...
Oops. My 'Stupendous rag' is quite guilty of such arrogant superlative use. I wish to explain the titles of my two most recent rags: Ragtime to the Max- just...
It has become quite evident to me now that naming my latest rag "Stupendous Rag" was an unintentional blunder. I just thought the word was funny, and I'm...
... Max, Well, for what it's worth, I think it's worthy of the title. In fact, I think it's perhaps the best uploaded here in months. I rather like the Calvin...
Wow - what perfect timing for this message; I'm just racking my brains for what to name my second rag (it's done - it just needs a name). Can I steal "Garlic...
I thought y'all might enjoy this short article I found in an old copy of a theatre organ magazine (I am also a theatre organist, btw): Organists Told To Kill...
Interesting topic - I always have the hardest time naming my compositions. Most of my rags' titles describe the thing/person that the rag was written for....
... Hi Adam. Even before the internet was common, I did my research well. There is no breach of titling rights. Mine was cleverly entitled Pride of the Praire,...
Hi Max. It was hardly just you. I get sent rags on a weekly basis with many frivolous titles that could construed as arrogant without further explanation, some...
Hey there again. Garlic Pudding Rag is all yours. I have no claim on it or desire. I'm currently working on the Anchovy Jello Two Step, so stay away from that...
Larisa, I finally took some time to listen to PCR and thought I'd share my feedback with you. Someone else mentioned that they tend to like minor key rags and...
Hi Larisa. I finally got a chance to get into the Purple Chicken. I want to steal it, but instead, I'll simply ask if I can do a rendition of it for my site....
Rachel, Finally got enough time to give Euphoric Rag a good listen. If I only had your posts to go by and never actually heard it, I would have assumed it...
Greetings. As I last knew it, perhaps six months ago, Dave has no email address. Contact is either through snail mail or telephone. Same goes for Trebor. It's...
Since you seem to know Trebor well, Bill, could you tell me something? He promised to send me some *color* photos of Charley Thompson a while ago. Does he...
... I'm incredibly honored; I've admired your site ever since I first learned about ragtime (I get most of my sheetmusic from your MIDI files), and I'd be...
I went ahead and posted the Tony Jackson music. Everyone understands that this is the guy that Jelly Roll feared and admitted was better than himself, right? I...
... Thanks! I'm rather new at this, and I'm always glad of any advice from those more experienced and knowledgeable than myself. ... Thanks. It kinda wanted...
... Don't assume I'm either! Also, I don't know if being "experienced and knowledgeable" has much to do with anything. As a composer myself (albeit amateur,...
