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...
You don't see too many Mint condition sealed Herwin label lp's for sale too often.There are 3 Ragtime ones on ebay right now: http://tinyurl.com/b34d4 ...
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 again Luigi and all. How arrangers individualized ragtime to their style (abundantly clear with Matthew's astonishing works) was not the point I was getting...
... Then again, Linda, Louis was the patron saint marching in of all things that were good about the history of jazz? And Wynton was the progenitor of the one...
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...
OK. I was a little off from the piece based on my description. It was not quite THAT hard, but still almost unplayable, and not too far off, just less...
Dear Bill, thank you very much for this very interesting page! It's some time I'm looking for the "Gems Of Texas Ragtime " folio and so I tried to contact the...
I've finally got time to digest the many new posts this week, and am especially spurred by Bill's philosophical views on ragtime performance. Having read the...
Gosh it's been almost three months since I've read a perennial Burns- Jazz bashing post. I finally have the self-confidence to admit I own a copy the ...
I just want to comment on music availability. A lot of ragtime music is very difficult to find. Dover did a great service with their collection of books, but...
Hi David. I will do my best to respond to your concerns on the topic of difficult sources. For starters, many have either not discovered or have overlooked...
