Composer here. I am pretty familiar with Joplin rags, but I wasn't thinking about any Joplin rags when I wrote this, which was in college back in 1995 and some strains really just popped into my head. I havn't had an experience like that since really, where I just had a musical idea that I used. If there is something similar to Joplin it is sheer coincidence in my opinion, for what it's worth. I did not set out to copy anything Joplin wrote, that would be plagarism and I am not a plagarist.
And I almost forgot to mention, Keeper1st arranged this piece (recomposed the repeat of the second strain, and added a recap of the first strain and introduction to the end)

Thanks for the kind words, I'm trying to write more. I have three completed ones, two others that are sort of sketchy, and plans for another, but it isn't a rag, at least not yet, because it isn't syncopated.

Well, it sounds like you have an interesting and fun project.
I hope I get a chance to hear the results!
BEST!

I'm going to have to get a diginal video camera so I can start putting my stuff up here myself. I'm nowhere near Tom Brier's piano skill level, but I'm not an abject beginner either.
