I've been listening to some of the songs you've presented to all of us, and have always been impressed. Being one that was always interested in soundtrack-themes, as well as rag-time, you are an incredible composer. I love the music, and looking forward to more of the music rolls you bring forth, or watching you or fellow musicians like Tom Brier, Andrew Barrett, The Raspberry Jam Band, and your fellow colleagues perform various compositions including your own. :D
Thanks! As far as "soundtrack" music is concerned, look up the video called "shangelina-final theme". I wrote the music for that animated demo/title sequence (and I do the evil laugh at the beginning too!).
I am considering ordering your song collection. How difficult would you rate your sheet music? I have a book of simplified ragtime songs, but its still a bit difficult for my skill level.
The music in my folio is probably mostly medium to excruciating in difficulty. I think "Skunk in the Parlor" is probably relatively easy (whereas "Tattle-Tale Rag" is for showoffs). But I've never learned to play any of those. The only one of mine I've learned is "Fly-Swatter Rag" but that was written after I published the folio. Many of my rags are written on paper, so may not fit under the hands as easily as those by someone who composes on the keyboard. I do use a keyboard at times though.
Ron O'Dell, you're a Scott Joplin of our time!

Very spirited rag! (But it sounds a little frivolous.)

Nice song, I really like the melody.
