Ragtime music was originally composed andpublished for piano. Subsequently there havebeen many arrangements for Jazz ensembles ofvarious sizes and shapes and also for guitar soloor in a few cases guitar duet. It was some of thoseguitar arrangements that first sparked my interest in rags and ragtime. Over the last several yearswe have developed percussion ensemblesinvolving steel drums and marimbas,subsequently introducing Balinese GamelanGongs and other drums.
