@swiftonlarue1 I agree that the story is untrue. It first appeared (to my knowledge) on Wikipedia a couple of years ago, and caused a bit of a ruckus on the Elite Syncopations ragtime group, since nobody could verify it. I have never before or since seen a mention of George L. Cobb performing in public (although he could have). I also am not sure whether piano was his main instrument, or whether he even played the instrument at all. He was, however, skilled at writing for the piano.

It's a wonder with the revolution in Russia at the time and W1 in Europe that anyone was dancing. A fun take off tho......I enjoyed it.

It's a great tune and wonderful piano roll, but that story about George L. Cobb and Rachmaninoff is false.

@swiftonlarue1 I appreciate your opinion, and everyone is entitled to theirs, but the issue is a moot point here. I am glad you like the roll... :)

This piece was composed after a friend apparently "dared" Cobb to try to make a rag out of the piece at a restaurant. He took the challenge, went to the piano and began to play the rag. To his surprise, Rachmaninoff was sitting at the same restaurant. He walked up to Cobb after he finished playing his rag and said "Nice rag, but you've got the wrong rhythm."
