Original Midi Ragtime Arrangements
By Robbie Rhodes

I just unzipped and played "Lazy Bones Rag", and it's great! Kudos, John and George -- you are hereby nominated for "Piano Roll Arrangers Hall of Fame", wherever that might be!  This song began as a piano roll, then the roll was arranged for solo piano, then John and George used the manuscript as a guide for a four-hands version. Here's an excerpt from the accompanying textfile:

  "What you hear has gone full-circle;  Piano-roll to sheet
   music, and back to piano roll (if you consider a MIDI sequence
   a piano roll). Thanks to piano-roll wizard George Bogatko for
   his ideas and contributions to this arrangement."

All who enjoy hot ragtime should browse these musician's web pages, or send an e-mail note:
