My dad played this on guitar late at night when i was a kid and It scared me SO much I didnt sleep that night.

I remember hearing this song in a Robert Crumb documentary and loving it. That version was slower -which gave it a less of a "typical rag" regarding tempo- but it sounded great.

@zeusjeke I agree with you. Many people take too "seriously" Joplin advice "Ragtime needs to be played not too fast". I think this is the very speed chosen by Joplin. Not too fast , but nor too slow!!!

@djerwulfe . No, the very name is "A real slow drag", and is the last song of his opera"Treemonisha"
-
@djerwulfe No, Slow Drag. Like the dance, do the slow drag. not dance the slowed rag.
-
Really nice, thanks
-
@BoidsiesRoblox I think this is Joplins chosen speed from the rolls, or they played the rolls too fast but I don't think so
-
Too fast...
