Wait for me! First round on me.
wanswheel Fred M Cain Another complication is that there are a number of styles of Ragtime. One of the greatest piano players could well have been James P. Johnson. He played a later style of Ragtime known as “Eastern”. It was just a bit more “jazzy” and was extremely virtuosic. One nice tune he recorded on a piano roll was Railroad Man. (Which also helps me bring this post back on topic). It is extremely difficult and is largely above my piano playing abilities. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kv0earMsqQk http://levysheetmusic.mse.jhu.edu/catalog/levy:059.027

Never too old to have a happy childhood!
I am unsure whether it was on this thread or another where I posted the website where one could download the whole of J. S. Bach's organ music without charge, well performed on historic German organs. But the free download has moved to a different website.
The new one is:

Enjoy!
So, you all like swing music, do ya? Well, check this out and others of Martin Loomer and the Orange Devils. They plays a lot of Basie, Ellington, Shaw, Fletcher Henderson and the Dorsey brothers. He's at the Monarch Tavern in Toronto every second Monday and I've been seeing him for years. The dancing is energetic to say the least and the Monarch is an old-time Ontario drinking establishment that had its 90th birthday this past Saturday.

I should more hesitate to revisit the scene of my crimes, not least failure to communicate gratitude for very generous comments by Sam and NKP.
