Ton Van Bergeyk released a ragtime guitar album back in 1974 which came with a book containing all the tablatures. I don't have the album anymore but I've still got the book. TVB's version is on Youtube care of 'RagtimeDorianHenry'. There are a couple of interesting piano rolls too from 'Yaledmot' and 'Ragtimefreak86'. These contain a couple of extra sections which I transposed but they didn't seem to work well so I stuck with the Bergeyk arrangement.

ahhhh..is this song supposed to be played with a capo? I've been trying to conquer it without one and damn that is no easy task!

excellent playing btw

@SqueezeMyLemonBabe

Yeah, that'll be tricky with no capo! No point in doing it the hard way and to keep to the original key you'll want the capo at the fifth fret. I have it at the fourth here. Cheers

My young niece takes great delight in the little dancing man in the version posted by 'Oldfinger' When I showed her yours, she asked where he was. I told her I was pretty sure he was in your fingers.

Actually while I've been re-learning this piece I could see that little dancing man in my head.

Really nice Raggin'! I first see someone plays this arrangement real, and your one will be perfect... ;-) I hope you may enjoy my channel, too. Thanks!
