I am just starting this piece. I really like your playing of it - loose and easy.

Wonderful! Keep the classics alive.

Early in his life Joplin was a brothel pianist. He later named several of his compositions such as "Swipesy" after the girls he had known there.

I beileve Swipsey is the best rag of all of Joplind

@22013 i think solace is better than swipesy
