I'm a late-comer as Tom Turpin fans go, but the St. Louis Rag is one composition I have never heard arranged for orchestra. Has such an arrangement ever been recorded?

@KawhackitaRag So if I understand what you are saying. Tom Turpin is not actually playing this composition for the piano roll ? This is an arranged performance where the notes were punched out on the Roll Master by an employee of the Company ?

Is he African American (or atleast HALF) too? He looks like he could be a mixed person to me.

I must specify that this rag was composed in 1903, but I don't know the recording date. Anyway, this is a piano roll performance.
