Vernian Process - The Maple Leaf Rag (Album Mix)

This is a video to our cover of Scott Joplin's "Maple Leaf Rag". I used footage found here on youtube of various clips of Buster Keaton. Our version of this song slowly builds from strictly piano into a full on swinging dance number.

I love this song, and it's because of it now that I have been working on making a steampunk oriented website. If your group would like, I'd love to put some photos up on there and link back to your youtube page or even your website if you have one.

Love ragtime and your cover is super fine. Did you know that it and you are mentioned in NYT bestselling author Carrie Vaughn's book "Kitty's Big Trouble" as part of a playlist she gives directly after acknowledgments? That's how I come to be viewing your video.

[VernianProcess]

@senilitysux66 We did not know that! Thank you for sharing this info with us!

My kids watch this video over and over and die laughing from the great clips you chose. And they're really getting into Vernian Process! I'm taking a couple of them to your show next month in San Francisco, and we all can't wait to see you guys.

God, how can you beat ragtime done by a steampunk band with vaudeville humor?
