An early ragtime tune, "The Cake-Walkers" by J. Howard Johnston was published in 1899.

The Porcupines are missing their percussionist in this set, but violinist Petra Sullivan at least finds some time to shake a maraca.

Performers, left to right:

Piccolo: Susan Desper
Cümbüş: Bub Sullivan
Violin/Maraca: Petra Sullivan
Piano: Elliott Adams
Tuba: Robyn Drivon

  • It's a Turkish string instrument -- looks kind of like a tiny fretless banjo. It has a very crisp sound.

    And absolutely the musicians have a great deal of fun with this music. Hijinks are a guarantee at a ragtime concert!

  • I find the music delightful but,what on earth is a cuembuesh?Is it a dried fish?A mediaeval instrument of torture?I have slowed down the motion but cannot find it.Explanation,please. Does this music make the performers as happy as the listener?If so,lucky players.
