... Speaking of Halloween, I once had a collection of rather difficult to play "rags", most of which weren't really rags at all but rather virtuoso renditions...
Hi Fred. Haunting Rag is seen/heard on my site at http://www.perfessorbill.com/pbmidi7.shtml about 40% down the page, cover and history and all. Hope that...
Fred, There's a Haunting Rag by Julius Lenzberg (also the composer of Operatic Rag and Hungarian Rag). I think there's a recording on Perfesser Bill's site....
Dear Adam, you can find the scores to "Indianola" on internet. I found both the instrumental and song version. They're not so beautifully score and none of the...
Follow up. I did find a Draftin' Blues referred to on several sites, and a copy at Mississippi State, so that may help a bit. Could be the same piece. RAGards,...

They have a new ragtime section - Bob Milne-centric to a point, but he is certainly knowledegable and generous with his time on the topic. Also, interviews...
Follow up to this. Treasures within the treasures. Every seen the Boiled Owl Rag? Hmmm. And a hand-written piece and hand-designed cover for Pan Am Rag. Very...
As a cook, somehow a boiled owl does not appeal to my taste buds, but the rag might :-) I enjoyed the mp3 Bob Milne pieces too... even if I have that CD...
It is possible that Johnny learned the tune from the stock orchestra arrangement. Many times, other tunes and interludes were included in these arrangement....

Hi Fred. Where are you? Boston or sumthin? I've been banned? Omigod. What now. They won't let in that scandalous SINcopated music in the work place, but you...
Hi again everyone. Since Bob Darch or Johnny will never know... I have scaned and posted an article Johnny sent me from a newspaper in Joplin, MO. Enjoy! Adam...
Here's something that I have always wondered about. On the Goldern Reunion in Ragtime album, Eubie does an imitation of Jelly Roll Morton and states that when...
Hi Todd. I believe (from memory, since I don't have it here) that the quote was actually in the Doctorow novel, which was published well before the movie. If...
... Can't ... Yes, I was just playing it the very day you asked the question. And it's not even a Halloween rag, despite the title. The name of that Dover...
Has everyone just over looked this? "That's Teasing Them One And All," in Euday Bowman's own handwriting, can be viewed on the L of C website. Is this old...
Never heard of this guy but he does a pretty good job on Maple Leaf Rag (although he leaves out the third theme) and Dill Pickles rag. Here are the links: ...
Big Tiny Little was, to many, the Patron Saint of ragtime and honky-tonk piano in the 1950s and 1960s, and had a long series of successful records. I believe...
Hi all. I got my 20th or so letter this year asking for help in identifying a "Joplin piece" that Joplin did not compose. For the number of times I have had to...

Does anybody have Tom Turpin's piece "When Sambo Goes To France"? I've talked to a number of people about it, and contrary to what most of them think, I know...
