This is a very good roll arrangement however... five stars!

[KawhackitaRag]

This is not Lamb playing, but rather, an arranged piano roll.

There ARE recordings of Lamb playing, the most easily-available one is called "Joseph Lamb: a Study in Classic Ragtime" and is available online from Folkways Records.

Unfortunately, the piano is a bit out of tune on that recording but it is well worth it to hear him talk about the music and actually play his own rags.

There are other recordings of him which are hard-to-find, but of other tunes and more in-tune.

It sounds very good!! Lamb is actually my favourite ragtime composer!
