Well, if you want to visit Sutter Creek again, August 10-12 is when the 2007 edition of the ragtime festival takes place! And yeah, practically the first thing I do when I arrive in Sutter Creek for each year's festival is buy a chocolate milkshake from the Ice Cream Emporium. Yums! Just the thing after three hours on my motorcycle in the summer heat.
...or if you're referring to Nan Bostick and Bill Mitchell in this video, they're playing "Dill Pickles Rag" by Charles L. Johnson. It was the first rag to use the three-over-four pattern which was utilized to extremes in Black & White Rag and 12th Street Rag.
Hey, you're the guy who co-wrote "Bowler Hat Rag"! Max just sent it to the Elite Syncopations Live365 show, but the recording was messed up on the final strain. Still, quite a lively piece!
Love it! Never knew about the festival, and got to Sutter Creek a week later on a visit. Stopped in at the Emporium, and heard an impromptu concert by Steve Price, he was great! Hope to make the Ragtime festival next year.
If you're in Northern California, check out the West Coast Ragtime Festival in Sacramento a week before Thanksgiving. In terms of performers, it is the largest ragtime festival in the world. It's less "intimate" than Sutter Creek but still fabulous.
Nice video, it shows a great variety of performances for a LOT of performers. I didn't know Patrick Aranda played the trombone! Made me laugh :-).

If you're referring to the Bradshaws in one of the West Coast Ragtime Festival videos, they were playing "A Rag-Time Nightmare" by Tom Turpin.
