Listening to "Elite Syncopations" channel on Radio 365.

Hearing lots of rags, played on solo piano, as written, and also many performed by 
ensembles.

In the old days, I spent forever to learn to play Joplin, etc., on the pianner (I have had virtually 
no training in playing from completely-written-out piano music).

Can someone on this most resourceful list point me to a source where I can find (buy?) lead 
sheets for the classic ragtime tunes (listening right now to Gunther Schuller's NE 
Conservatory playing "Sunflower Slow Drag, and loving every minute of it -- bought the CD 
[or was it the cassette?] so long ago).

All leads will be followed.
