Welcome all Ragtime musicians and researchers!
This group is ment to be a space to exchange historic band arrangements from the ragtime era.
For myself I contribute the famous "Red Back Book" (57 MB).
The violinist and researcher Bill Russel had an original copy which belonged to the trumpeter Willie "Bunk" Johnson. He generously made me xerox copies in 1980 when I visited New Orleans. Here is a facsimile edition, a bit restored but as original as possible.
To all musicians who would like to use it and all researchers who contribute so much to Ragtime living forever!
