Scott Joplin 

Rags re-arranged on steel

drums and marimba:

Joplin   was   the   first   to   have   his   rags   published   as sheet   music   -   crossing   the   racial   divide   from   the informal    black    musical    culture    in    dance    halls and   bars   to   the   piano   fortes   in   the   parlors   of the   white   middle   class   homes   at   the   end   of   the nineteenth   century.   We   start   with   the   first   one published Maple Leaf Rag: Maple Leaf Rag Magnetic Rag Rose Leaf Rag Felicity Rag Paragon Rag Searchlight Rag Fig Leaf Rag Peacherine Rag Stop-time Rag
