Excellent. I love the head and body movement. Noticed Roy Book Binder makes that same kind of movement. Is it perhaps that the Rev did that as well?

[djangokeli]

Actually, the Rev's head and body movement was more along the Ray Charles model...a pattern common to the blind, I think. Roy and I come by ours separately and authentically.

Very Cool. What key is that in ?

[djangokeli]

Key of C. It starts on a G7, which is the V chord.

Marvelous, Rolly!! Ragtime was very much my thing back when I taught in the 70's. This is a great rag and you play it wonderfully! I really enjoyed the workshop the other night and look forward to learning more. I'd be honored if you'd check out some of my videos. Thanks for posting. Let me know contact info, k? Bunny (bb)

Awesome playing m8y. I don't think you can beat 'Ragtime', on the guitar... 5***** and shared/subbed..
