[combandpaper283]

Fabulous thank you

[crazygirl22332]

so many songs by scott joplin

[dylanholman3]

Error with the 1936 name too

[dylanholman3]

Oh, and I highly agree with neisharie :)

[dylanholman3]

In the description, you have 1910 as "Hilarity Rag" by James Scott, when in the video, its "Swanee River" by Henry Burr

[neisharie]

You should get an award for your efforts. I'm not kidding. Sir if I ever meet you, I'd like to shake your hand and thank you.

[joeasmythe]

Gotta include Dixieland and On the Banks of the Wabash.

On American Dad, 1901-Stars and Stripes Forever (John Phillip Sousa) sounds like a remake of their theme song.
