lessons for well over 12 of those years and minored in music in
college. I have played rag for well over 10, as I find it so very
challenging. It is something that you really have to have lots of
stanima for. :) I read music, as well as can usualy pick up things
that I hear as I have played so long.

Hi, Paul,
Thanks! Do you have midis of your playing online for people to listen
to? Do you improvise while you play? Which are your favorite rags
and which do you find most difficult or easiest to master? Maple
Leaf, Swipesy, and Harmony Club Waltz are three of my favorites. My
husband can play a little ragtime on the piano and thinks The
Entertainer is the most difficult and Maple Leaf is not quite as
difficult. Can you play stride? I don't remember if I already asked
you that. Thanks. :)
