Can someone please inform me when the composition, "I Want Somebody to Love," by Edward Kelly was written? I can't seem to find it. Yes, I've googled... :(...
Hello, Does anyone know where I could find a MIDI file of Roy Bargy's " A Blue Streak", "Feeding The Kitty", "Get Lucky", or "Sweet And Tender"? I've also been...
Vincent, I have the sheet music to "New Russian Rag". I think I have an original copy of it as well as photocopies. There used to be a MIDI file of "A Blue...
Dear Andrew, Thanks for the help! I happened to get Feeding The Kitty through a friend, so I won't be needing that one. I know. It's a shame I can't access the...
Paul Wilson was doing a great service, and very enthusiastically, and then he more or less disappeared around five years ago, and his site shortly thereafter...
Hi group! I managed to contact Paul Wilson sometime last year, I had written to him asking about what had happened to his website. He replied back saying that...
Hi all: Does anyone have the sheet music for Charles Johnson's "Hester on Parade" (1899)? I love Sue Keller's version of it on her aka Charles Johnson CD-ROM ...
While we're on the subject of pre-existing websites, does anyone know what happened to ragtimer George McClelland (aka Old George) of California? He had a nice...
Hi Adam, I have met George McClellan(d?) in person a few times; he is a good pianist and a great composer. Until a few years ago, him and a friend of his were...
Apologies if this has been mentioned before, but I was just perusing Sunday's Washington Post and noticed that Dick Hyman will be performing tonight at the...
Hi all. I have a real head-scratcher - on many levels in fact - concerning a copy one of my cohorts unearthed of African Hunter. While my research on this is...
Perhaps it African Hunter was a rather cryptic nod by Kendall to Charles Hunter. (After all, Just Ask Me was an earlier tune.) Okay, that's just plain crazy....
I'm one of those people who has to see the two versions to understand what you mean. I have what must be the "common" version in "101 Rare Rags" as well as off...
Andrew, You had a wonderful idea. I bet the rag was originally written for orchestra (I wouldn't know any better). Regarding Kendall, I remember Mike...
Adam: I think the problem is that you have misspelled his name. It's George McClellan and his web site is at http://www.ragtimeplus.com/. In fact, he and his...
Thank you. I'm glad to hear he's okay. I did find the site with Google (there is also a link from Perfessor Bill's pages), but it must have been down...
Yeah, since both Joplin and Kendall published some rags with Seminary music, it is likely they could have run into each other at some time. Also, since...
Hi all, With the interesting recent posts about Kendall, I thought it would be good to compile a record of which ragtime composers cut piano rolls. Rags and...
Hi again. I think my original point is lost. Here again are the oddities: Both published the same without acknowledgement of a different edition or key. The B...
Hi again. As a trained piano technician (started ear tuning at 16 as an apprentice, and have practiced it for 30 years), and having taken acoustic theory when...

Fascinating post... I never bothered to consider this stuff from a technical standpoint, although I almost certainly have addressed it from an emotional one....
Robert, You turn up such amazing stuff! I had no idea James Reese Europe recorded duet piano rolls with Ford Dabney. Do you have them? Can you make them into...
Bill, I'm trying to figure this out for myself.... if "African Hunter" was originally conceived for orchestra, isn't it possible that the rag was published the...
I can provide some information on Kendall from census data. Edwin F. Kendall was born in early 1870 of parents Rose and Martin Kendall, both from England. In...
... It's also in Vol. 4 or 5 of "All-American Ragtime". I made an Amiga DMCS MIDI arrangement of it back in the late '80s or early '90s -- one of dozens of...
If one were to make an analogue recording of a piece in one key, say C, and then the recording were speeded up so that the C became precisely a D flat, would...
