Dear Fellow Tuners. . .

I am looking for your help in a research project that has been an =
interest
of mine for some time.

As a hobby, my father rebuilt player pianos, and since many of them came
with rolls, some ragtime, his interest in ragtime developed.
Some  40 years ago, my father,  Jim Sr, and several friends, started a =
group
dedicated to  " The Preservation of Classic Ragtime". in Toronto, Canada

They called it the Ragtime Society. It had members all around the world, =
and=20
I remember as a kid, collating the newsletter, 'The Ragtimer' on our =
living room floor.


When I was a teen, I remember many ragtime players coming to our home in
Temperanceville, Ontario, Canada ( true ! ) to play and enjoy Ragtime.. =
.
Bob Darch, John Arpin, Max Morath, Tom Shea, Mike Montgomery, Trebor
Tichnor. . . are some of the names I remember.
.

Over the years, my father's involvement was passed on to others, and I =
don't
know if this group even exists today.
As a tuner, I have a reasonable idea as to what types of music my =
clients
enjoy and play, and I thought that most of you would as well.

I would be interested in any anecdotes, or information that you'd care =
to
forward, either on this list, or privately to the address below.

 I hope there's some of you who can help.

Thanks
