Ragtime
I love old sheet music. I love browsing through the online collection at the Library of Congress. I grew up in a Scott Joplin-loving household. We had all his sheet music (still do) and I can still play parts of … Continue reading

High-stepper
I am in love with that. It’s from 1922 – and it’s done by Frank Xavier Leyendecker (brother of the dude in the post below this one). Quite a talented family. I love Frank Xavier’s stuff a bit more because … Continue reading
