[Dixielandjazz] Re: Ragtime Dance

[Bob Shoring]

Hi Jara,

That tune "Ragtime Dance" that Turk Murphy recorded was written by Kerry 
Mills.  Yes, Scott Joplin also wrote a tune with a similar name, but it 
is a totally different tune and tempo.  I happen to prefer the Kerry 
Mills tune -- the one you have.

You can find out a bit more on Kerry Mills and other tunes he wrote at:
