Hi all. I have galleys partially done. I have an agent. I'm told I will have a publisher within the next ten or so days. I also have an over 250 page book with...
Hey all, especially roll collectors and (hint hint) those with Billings access. I have compiled a list of 138 E.T. Paull related rolls, and would, at this...
Hi All. Thought I would share something of a contentious interest with you. We have often seen ragtime pieces (like Car-Barlick Acid or Harlem Rag) under...
Please comment on this. It should be hard not to. Music Trade Review, June 13, 1914: ========================== ARE MUSICIANS "FREAKS?" Dr. Paul Sohn, the...
I just got the sad news that Dudley "Big Tiny" Little passed away. He exposed millions to ragtime on the Lawrence Welk Show and with the dozens of albums he...
Hi Todd. Thanks for telling us about this. I was not able to confirm on any of the Carson City news sites. Where did the information come from? Want to make...
Its interesting that his MLR is quite close to the one recorded by Ohman and Arden for Victor in the late 20s. Not identical, but close enough to make me...
There is a video on youtube about Shamrock Rag by Euday Bowman. The goofy thing about it that the music they play is not Shamrock Rag. It's not even ragtime....
I have always thought that the roots of the whole honky tonk piano genre start with this recording of MLR by Ohman and Arden. This might seem like an insult...
In my humble opinion, the origins of Honky-Tonk Piano can be traced back, musically, to Francis J. Carter (some say "Francis C. Carter") who made two solo...
Hi Andrew. I actually included quite a bit of what you outlined below in my upcoming book on Honky Tonk Piano - #3 in the series currently in the works. I went...
Thank you very much Shane and others for having a listen, interesting to find that out. I've listened to a performance of it on YouTube and I like the...
Since the topic of Honky Tonk came up, here's a question for you. What's the story of Fred Burton's The Human Pianola? He is mentioned several time in TAPR...
Hi Todd. I'll have to extract that information when I'm back from California on Tuesday or Wednesday. Perhaps I'll find you in a couple of weeks when I'm up in...

Hi, All. I'm sorry for the short notice, but for those who can make it, I'll be hosting another live broadcast and chat session on Elite Syncopations Radio...
With the reprinting and republication (and of course recording) of all of Scott Joplin's works, it is easy to lose a sense of which pieces are more rare than...
Hi Bryan. While I have some experience in this (29 Joplin's to date), I am not the most knowledgeable source directly on Joplin. However, from the collectors...
Just a quick reminder to anyone who would like to join us -- the Elite Syncopations Radio LIVE program is now on for the next two hours. Tune in and join the...
While we're pondering Joplin's output, I'd be interested in opinions about "Palm Leaf Rag". I'd never heard of it before I was perusing the Library of Congress...
Hi Tim, I would recommend another Joplin arrangement than the H.F. Mitchell arrangement. My group has run through Joplin rags that have been arranged by E.J....
Groups, Does anyone have the "Biograph" recordings of James P. Johnson's piano rolls? I seem to remember there were two volumes. Were these ever put on CD's?...
I need to do an ID on an arch, and thought that somebody who was a historian or at least lived where such arch might still exist might be able to facilitate...
Fred, Those exact albums have not been put out on CD as far as I know, but if you go to amazaon.com and put James p. Johnson in the search, you will find...
