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.
