Ragtime was Re: Joplin, MO piano festival

[Jim]

Hi Alan

I agree . .  there is little differentiation between 'honky tonk' . .  Joe Fingers Carr, Mrs mills etc, and 'classic ragtime, which can be very gentle, paced and intricate.

The finer points of it elude me due to my marginal skills . .

  We have a fellow in our St. Louis chapter (Beau Moses) who is employed at the Scott Joplin House (museum) to play, you guessed it, mostly rags.

  I love ragtime but most people play it way, way, wayyyyyy too fast.

    Ragtime!!!

    Wow . . I don't know anyone who still plays ragtime, other than John Arpin from Canada. . . 

    My dad started the Ragtime Society in the early sixties, and ran it with some friends for a couple of decades . . 
    He has tons of original Rags, and repros, albums etc . . . great stuff  ( I play some Joplin, Scott & Lamb as well ) 



    keep practicing . .
