For those who like their ragtime faster.... something a LITTLE faster than my usual. (Net's been cranky these last few days: took over 30 attempts to get this uploaded!)
Only five? :( That's a sad thing; I had decided I liked his work & was wondering if someone may have published a compendium. I've posted one other of his rags ("The Queen") & I think I have one or two more in some compilations (and maybe some hidden away amongst the mass of old sheet music in my bookcase).
Now here's one you don't hear every day! A non-Joplin rag may not get the most views, but is important in demonstrating that there is a heck of a lot more ragtime out there, in many different styles (The Ragtime Compendium currently lists over 13,000 titles!). Alas, though, there isn't much from our pal Floyd H. Willis. There are only five known rags from him.
Glad you like the piece! :) I think I first heard it on the radio, & then found I had the music. Floyd Willis wrote some other pieces I like.... it would be nice to see a collection of his music come out some day.
Thank you so much! :) The lighting is accidental.... never thought about it much, but glad you like the effect. (The heavy shadows do help keep the file size down.)
I love it! Also, the lighting on the hands is perfect; was that a wonderful accident or intentional. This one is going to my playlist. So glad I have you on my subscription list. ciao jk
