Hi, I hesitate to say this, but I'm attempting my own rag for this contest. I just hope they'd be willing to take an MP3 taken from a midi file, provided the...

I've already sent in mine. I'd send another one, but one of the conditions they have is that you can't play it in public until July - after Sedalia. I'm also...
Hi, I'm assuming that also means I can't post my version to the Files area of this list before July, am I right? In that case, thanks for the warning--I very...
And now, I'm not saying ragtime is war and that the war has been won. Tee hee. I had relatives who just happened (honestly) to be driving through Madison on...
My fellow ragtimers, It is with great pleasure I'd like to announce the release of my second CD: The Heroes of Parlor Town – Volume 2 Volume 2 includes the...
Rachel, Larisa, and others, Don't post your rag, even if only a strain. The contest rules specify that you must provide a statement confirming that it has...
I've got some mails now as per my desire to get an original of Rattlesnake Rag, and why it's such a deal. For starters, we all know the hotbeds of ragtime,...
OK. I have not posted mine anywhere or played it in public. I think I was assuming July because I was hoping that we would hear from you by then - and find...
I also plan to enter a Tulsey Town Rag, hopefully the definitive version! I've got most of it put together but there are some loose ends yet. I've entered...
Yeah, mine doesn't have a lot of crazy jazz chords or time signature changes - it's very classic in format. I think I was imitating James Scott (just the...
Perf, There is parking on the street at meters. You need quarters. There is also parking on Stillwell and W. 10th in front of the Cyclone roller coaster....
I've often heard ragtime described as a very happy music, and I think by and large that's true and probably a significant part of the appeal. The first "sad"...
Rod Tillman, Ragtime for Tulsa chairman, has answered the questions that I posed via e-mail last night. For clarity, I'll itemize the points while adding a...
Hi, I'm trying to keep it simple myself, something of a folk--or folk-ish--ragtime feel, with some classic rag elements. I find it both fun and frustrating,...
Just to keep everyone deformed, I have humbly submitted one as well, using historical elements of the state (I read a history from the 1850s to the 1960s)...
Still, one of my favorite rags is "Pork and Beans", which is not really a joyful happy rag. Another one I've finally managed to learn is "April Fool Rag",...
Dear Larisa, there aren't many biographies of Jean Schwartz on internet. Among the few, here's a link to one, which is quite detailed: JEAN SCHWARTZ ...
I think that bio is one of the better ones I've seen of Mr. Schwartz. It might interest you to know he wrote several rags, of which many are available online. ...
Dear Andrew, thanks for the details! Also very useful, because the Schwartz biography of which I copied the link didn't focus on his ragtime compositions, that...
Perhaps another one is 'Ballin' the Jack'. Keep smilin', Daniel ... Going back to earlier discussions we have had, plus the oft-written about definitions of...
Hello Group, I have found an excellent video on YouTube of Winifred Atwell playing Britannia Rag. I really did not know much about Atwell, seeing as she (like...
... I remember that many years ago I was alone in an elevator with Winifred in an office block in downtown Melbourne, where my employer had their office. She...
I really enjoyed this video. Too bad she didn't have a few words to say. If you want more of Winnie on CD, Amazon.com has a great selection. I've got the...
Dear all, there's some great ragtime news! Michael Mathew has just posted the new updated version of "A Ragtime Compendium", the best ragtime database ever!...
So I've got one for you. This is either an arranger who was playing an enormous joke on the public with a Bartok-ian sense of humor, or a total dimwit who...
