Henry Lodge's "Temptation Rag" was one of the most recorded rags in the early days of sound recording, and it has remained popular ever since. It is in many ragtime anthologies, and probably has not been out of print ever since its original publication 100 years ago.

The Ragnolia Ragtette consists of the four-hand piano duo of Jack & Chris Bradshaw with the tuba of Robyn Drivon and the percussion of her husband, Steve Drivon.

This performance was during the 11th annual Sutter Creek Ragtime Festival in August 2009.

The Temptation Rag is definitely one of my favorites. I will say, though, my friends and I have cost our school a lot of money in piano tuning playing this. :)
