@tomaspepino I know two white guys who can play great ragtime. One is in his twenties and a natural talent. The other is almost 70, playing ragtime for about 60 years. You bet it's tough. I never could play ragtime worth a damn. It takes great discipline.

@MadnessOfMarmots 98% of today's music sucks, but you just gotta dig man. There's a lot of good music out there right now, you just have to find it, and Youtube is the best place.

@Brownsc3 Well, all of today's music sucks, and I was just drawing a parallel from then to today.

@MadnessOfMarmots What?? Name me any music written by white people these days that's worth listening to. It's all garbage on every side. Black people kicked ass in music for a hundred years after Joplin started composing: stride, jazz, blues, rock, funk, reggae, dub, that shit went on to 1987 man. Even today there's plenty of good music, but it's all underground and you just haven't dug enough.

@Rusticky The systematic syncopation on the right hand makes it "ragged" in some way. This impression's precisely strengthened by the strictly 4/4 left hand. Also in this times, "rag" might have been a slang word used to make the new music sound fashion. Anyway, classical music is frequently not "classical" at all...
ROLLS RULEZ !!
@reignman2112 you like it because the simple bass line and fairly happy-themed main melody creates an unresistable combination of two fairly unknown bodily chemicals that react when ragtime is heard. they are awesonium and epicium and they create diawesometriepic.

I really have such a hard time forcing myself to stop listening to this music in order to get back from pure heaven to real life.
