We just sang this song as a part of a musical we made. We're playing we're very tired at that moment. So no special thoughts, just wanting some sleep. So we put it in just for fun not because we wanted to perform joplin music in a serious manner.

What happened to everybody in this video? What are your occupations, do you have contacts with other people in this group? What are your thoughts when you see this video? What do you think about Scott Joplin's music?
