I used to have the original sheet music and would dealy LOVE to be able to get it again. However, the only version online is a simplified one for beginners. Can you please tell me the publishing company, or better yet, make me a copy of yours.I will gladly pay for your time and effort.
@pat7893 The late John E. Roache put a MIDI of this tune online, with all the notes. Search for "John Roache's Ragtime MIDI Library"; go there; click on "Stride" and then "Little Rock Getaway". (You get a zipfile of a text file and two .mid files.) In Cakewalk, slow the tempo from 229 to 165. It's hard to get a readable staff. With Resolution=♪(8th note) (+fill+trim), it's very neat, but the rhythm is oversimplified. With Res=16th note, rhythm looks right. With Res=32nd it's unreadable.
This version is THE BEST and cleanest arrangement, with perfect tempo and perfect performance. I heard THIS VERSION first and loved it. It defines this tune for me. It is better than the instrumental arrangements, better than the Joe Sullivan recording. If you've heard this tune a lot, an improvised version could be enjoyable. But I'd always come back to this one. I bought the CD "Last Time Rag", unheard, for the Joplin and Morton ragtime sampler. This track was a bonus. Composed in USA, 1938.
I did not suspect that fum8ma2 is Marco Fumo! I wondered who posted your work. Sometimes I feel guilty viewing and recommending material that might be bootlegged. I only searched for this version because I own a copy. I bought it in Tower Records, Classical dept, July 1990, for US$17. (Most record shops have disappeared since then.) I liked tracks 1, 3, 5. I looked up more Jelly Roll Morton because of 3, as MIDI files. The Sullivan track 11 got a star. Europeans keep old American music alive.
I love this smooth version, unhurried tempo, so pure in it's delivery....not full of extra brag notes so to speak! Love the chromatic interlude too. It stays with the theme, a little wild in the middle, then returns w/o loosing the sense of the great song!

Unless this is a different performance, this is a digital recording made in January and July 1987.
The piano is a Steinway grand. My penciled note calls the piano "a bit felty". :)

Hi Marco!
Sorry that I called you "Joe" in my earlier comment. Confused you with the piano player!
