"CENTENNIAL RAG" ~ Adam Swanson @ Blind Boone Ragtime & Jazz Festival ~ June 2007

Also, if you've ever heard the Charley Thompson CD "The Neglected Professor" (on the Delmark label; available from Amazon), you can tell that this whole piece smacks of the Thompson style, no question about it.

You can hear a little bit of Jelly Roll Morton's "King Porter Stomp" in this... I don't know if this was intentional on Thompson's part or not, but most of those old-time ragtime guys regularly got little bits and pieces, phrases etc. from each other.

Yes, this is the Charley Thompson tune.

Got it & fixed the write-up. Thanks, Tom

Is this the Charley Thompson Centennial Rag?

[tdub1941]

I have no idea who the composer was. If you find out for sure, let me know and I'll add it to the write-up. Thanks!
