My love of music is second only to my love of books, and it's a close thing. I'm restraining myself here, but I've stumbled across a string of ragtime & boogie woogie tunes that are great, and that led to some steel drum stuff, and that to...well. It ended up with Music Box Dancer accompanied by a very cool drummer...so far.
Maple Leaf Rag is my favorite Joplin tune. The first version is a more traditional classical approach, while the second is an energetic Nawleans style band. I think they both have their own appeal.
