The Kangaroo Hop - Fox Trot Rag

This was a popular dance tune around 1915. I learned it from a piano score at University of Colorado Digital Sheet Music Collection: http://ucblibraries.colorado.edu/cgi-bin/sheetmusic.pl?RagKangaroo&Rag&am...

You can hear a fine recording by Prince's Band at archive.org: http://www.archive.org/details/TheKangarooHop . I first heard the tune performed on a c1916 recording of the Blue & White Marimba Band, which you can hear at http://youtu.be/0kkvRD-Qiv0 .

I enjoyed viewing a fun YouTube video of this tune being played recently at a music party: http://youtu.be/qsY5PiZWqVw

Great rendiotion of Morris's tune. You know, you'd fit right in at the "Ragtime Parties" they have out in Sutter Creek, CA.
