@CommendatoreAndolini not to mention 1903 was over a hundred years ago. I don't know of any hundred year olds that get on YouTube and comment on videos....:/.........:D

While I love a lot of the "heavier" classical music, Ragtime, which falls into the category of "semi-classical", is for me a most pleasurable aural experience, a musical form of bicycling, roller skating, riding a carousel and otherwise just truly enjoying life to the hilt.

@GDupons Don't make me challenge you to a duel, pard'ner.

@CommendatoreAndolini Hmm, I heard Texas Hold'em was developed in the 1970s!

King of Ragtime

[CommendatoreAndolini]

I'll never forget the first time I heard this. It was the year 1903 in the old West, I was indulging in a round of Texas hold'em in the local saloon when I noticed a devious young kid lookin' at my cards. Accusing him of cheating, we took it outside and agreed to a duel. As the clock struck 3, I turned around and shot him in the face. Moral: don't cheat at cards.

@FamilyPrisonerBlues

Thank you for taking the time to tell us this, I didn't know this. (I'm not in any way being sarcastic)

But, I must comment; you started this with saying his race did not have the aforementioned impact, and followed with this example, however these are kind of two different things.. It could well be that his colour stood in the way of his true succes, and despite the stories being mildly similar, it's still not comparable in this specific context..

Cheers,

Recklezz

can anyone find printable FREE sheetmusic for this? I've already got The Entertainer, and Maple Leaf Rag

[palkian90]

anyone know what would be a good CD to get of scott joplin's music? some of them don't really have a ragtime feel to them even if the pianist is skilled

[Kamel1Reds]

Your face.
