Wow, nice composition Ron. It definately got the old school ragtime feeling. i mean OLD SCHOOL. Sounds sort of like Tom Turpin at certain places, i'm not sure. Just reminded me a little of St .Louis Rag in certain places. Nice job.

Thank you so much! This rag does seem to be gaining in popularity. I've had a few comments and sales of it in the past couple of months.

i`ve discovered ragtime music thanks to your videos !! Not the kind of things you hear in Japan (or I must not go to the right places...).
It seems you can`t play your own compositions which is something I cannot understand. Does it mean that you hear what you wrote for the first time only after you ask someone to play it ?

@vincejp1 I do have the computer to play a rough version. Otherwise, it is true. I can fumble slowly through parts as I compose them. For ragtime in Japan, see the YouTube channel "ragtimecave". It has ragtime performers at clubs in Tokyo and Osaka. There are ragtime guitarists in Japan too. Probably the most famous is Takashi Hamada, up in Otaru, Hokkaido.

The combination composer-pianist is very convincing as is, but please do not hesitate in case you play yourself to post it as well, please.

@villakoecher Although I used a keyboard when composing this, I've never actually learned to play it.

It's definitely unusual for a standard rag to have fourths like that. I was really stuck with what to put under the melody. I knew I didn't want the oom-pah going yet, but I just didn't know what to do with the left hand there. I played around with a lot of things until hitting on the fourths that turn in thirds at the end, thus thickening their way into the chord progression.
