I've had three off-line requests asking me to contribute to this thread, and while I have written on it in articles on my site I still feel only partially...
There is a goodly number of recordings that have piano as the solo instrument or as accompaniment that gives us a decent clue as to what the sound was like. I...
I've put a couple of recordings up in the files section. Look for the Piano From the Era folder. Let me know what you think of these. Todd ... what ... the ...
Hi all. As a reference point, and just to give a better scope of the work I do outside of ragtime as a studio musician, I am included as keyboardist on a new...
Hi all, Does anyone know what tune Morten Gunnar Larsen is playing in this video? http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=BnlNC0biTyY It's been haunting me ever since I...
Thanks for those, Todd. The only one I already had was the Eubie Blake (though I had a couple other tracks by Mike Bernard). "Sunset Melody" is a good example...
... Let's remember that the very idea of background music had only just been (or not yet) invented. I can't remember the year off the top of my head, but...
as far as background music goes, I know that at the turn of the twentieth century, when coin-operated music machines first became available for placement in...
Larisa, This is one of MGL's own tunes, called "Norsk Rag No. 1," I think. He's done five great "Norwegian" rags based on folks themes -- he demonstrated one...
I really wonder if Chauvin, Marshall, Scott, or Matthews were really as great as everyone says. You know Campbell asserted that C. H. Thompson was "the best of...
I have a feeling that much of what made Chavin and others distinctive was not only their technique, but also their person harmonic sense. We get a flavor of...

Since Bryan is no longer doing ES radio, I thought I would share two recordings with everyone I had intended to air specially some night. I'm posting two...
Every once in a while a forgotten name pops up. Charlie Rasch is mentioned in TAPR. I have an album of his from the 1960s. Low and behold, a couple of weeks...
Thanks, Todd! I just enjoyed listening to his version of MLR. I have the 4th edition of TAPR and couldn't find Charlie in the index. Do you have a page number?...
He is mentioned in the preface to the fourth edition and there is a picture of him on the "Professors Strike Again" page at the beginning of the book. Todd ......
Wow! These recordings are fantastic. Until now, I had not heard any of the early recordings of Thompson, when his skills had not deteriorated. Thanks! Max. ...
Deteriorated? When? I have the Neglected Professor that is probably his most recent one and old as Thompson was then, he could play rings around any pianist I...
Well, I should clarify: I'm a huge fan of Thompson's playing, and agree that he played rings around most. However, in the 1949 recording, his performances...
Thanks much, Todd! I found his name on page XI (the Roman numeral for 11) in the preface and saw his photo in the photo section found following page 230. It's ...

I voted for Sunflower Slow Drag (although a collaboration) because the melodies are so beautiful and the texture of the notes and chords is so delicate - more...
Back again after a short hiatus. Came across Tom Brier's first sight read of a piece called "K.K. Ragtime" on YouTube. Got a kick listening to that piece which...
