Jaime, first of all, thanks for this romping and exciting version of "Maple Leaf Rag"! I don't agree at all with your self-criticism. I liked very much your...
Thank you! I am self-taught as well. All the little things are either put there on purpose or I just don't hear them when I play (most often I never hear my...

I'm a new memeber. It didn't start out with "ragtime" per se... when I was 1, my parents went on a trip to Germany and took me along. One of the places we went...
If I remember right, Alex Hassan played "Bugatti Step" in one of his concerts. I cannot for the life of me remember who composed it. It is most unfortunately...
Andrew, It was a snippet of a theme that became my "Cedar River Ramble". I was just confirming it wasn't something already in existence, prior to laying claim...
Since this is a topic often solicited from me through those who visit my site, and really some expansion of a portion of my articles on playing and composing...
A thoughtful post by the Perfessor to start the year off--thanks! A few (hopefully relevant) thoughts occur. The arranging aspect indeed has been long...
Jelly Roll Morton said he invented jazz.The Russians have claimed to have invented jazz and just about everything else too. When i was at UCLA i had a roommate...
Dear Linda, this story is very interesting! I'm not sure what's the first recording made by Olga Bibor, but I found a track she did in 1919 on internet. here's...

As regards this interesting article about musical training and ragtime, I think I must correct one thing I wrote in a recent message, for I said that James...
Hi all. Let's be fairly clear on this point. Jazz was a natural extention of ragtime. In essence, early jazz was either ragtime or blues, or a combination of...

Hi Bill- That was a great post! I wrote a response to it this morning, but didn't have time to post it. Since then, you brought up a point related to my...
Dear Bill, thanks so much for your description of that unplayable riff in "12th Street Rag". The recording by Bowman I posted displays he didn't played that so...
