Also, the 8-to-the-bar feel of many rock songs is almost identical to the feel found in some piano rolls of the early jazz period following ragtime (c. 1919-1929) It is ironic that outside of Latin/Hispanic music, the 8-to-the-bar feel would fall out of favor in popular music ("swing" rhythms were preferred), only to reappear in the 1960's as the "newest thing" in rock music!

Ragtime to Hardcore? Hmmm... kind of like me versus Cory Blaine... ragtime to hardcore! However, I must point out that hardcore rock (and rock in general) would not be the same (or possibly even exist) were it not for syncopation, which ragtime introduced to popular music.

It wasn't until the ragtime revival of the 1970's that Joplin finally became well known and all of his rags (rather than just a few) played throughout the land. Ironically, this fame came nearly 60 years after his death.

The first tune is "The Ragtime Dance" by Scott Joplin. It is the 1902 song version, not the 1906 version. What is interesting is that Joplin was never very well known in his own time, and except for Maple Leaf Rag, none
of his rags could be called "hits". However, some were moderately successful, like Pine Apple Rag.

Hmm.. you guys said the song playing is the Entertainer, but the Entertainer is at the End.

One more thing, I notice you guys use kind of a 3/4 beat in your rock song... in a 4/4-saturated world, that is a nice change of pace! Rock on!

Oops! Sorry guys, the beginning & ending songs got mixed up. The Entertainer is the last song, not the first :)
