I first heard this on an player reed organ and it was so long ago that I hadn't really heard of ragtime. It got stuck in my brain and I thank you for the memory. i wonder if that roll has ever been recorded? It was a masterful little player organ and the roll made the stops go in and out as the rags progressed. What technology our grandfathers possessed!

@RagtimeDorianHenry When I look at the date of this while hearing such a fine composition, I have to ponder how far music has come. It is inspiring to say the least.. Although, when I pick up my guitar my first inclination is to improvise, I still, am frozen in place when I come across a piece like this. It expresses a lifetime of musical intellect. Someday, I could only hope to piece together such a masterful display of musical know-how.

1898 ! C'est une merveille ! en entendant ce morceau j'ai du mal à croire que c'est du blues ! C'est gai !

@177coc ce n'est pas du blues, mais tout simplement le tout premier ragtime enregistré ! the first ever recorded. J'adore le jeu de Vess Ossman.
