Scott Joplin - Maple Leaf Rag
Hi everyone, this is a re-recording of the maple leaf rag with less audio distortion. I hope that made it better. Unfortunately all your kind comments and ratings are gone, sorry! About the speed: I strived to play it at this specific speed and I think it is appropriate and not excessive. Of course, you're entitled to have your own opinion though. This piece was learned and recorded in 14 days :) sheets available at sheetmusicarchive.net
Doc Watson - 1991 - Black Mountain Rag
Doc Watson - 1991 - Black Mountain Rag. I've included Doc's introduction and explanation of his background with this particular tune. I've always loved the interesting anecdote that Doc developed his now legendary flatpicking style while playing a Les Paul (electric solid body guitar) while he was playing in a Rockabilly band in the 1950's. Additionally, I've heard that he actually didn't even own an acoustic guitar at that time. It's interesting that this style has since become associated with, nearly exclusively, acoustic guitars, particularly Martin dreadnoughts. I've always wondered what kind of reception a picker would get at the National Flatpicking Contest in Winfield Kansas if he were to show up to compete with a Les Paul in hand!
Tom Lehrer - The Vatican Rag - now on DVD
March 2010: This song is out on DVD! More here: www.shoutfactorystore.com Tom Lehrer on Amazon.com: www.amazon.com Tom Lehrer songs on iTunes: itunes.apple.com Over the years a lot of people have been offended by this song, also on YouTube. Now you can read Tom Lehrer's own introduction to the song, played by The Music Show in Australia when he was interviewed on the telephone a few years ago: - - - Another big news story of the year (1965) concerned the Ecumenical Council in Rome, known as Vatican II. Among the things they did, in an attempt to make the church more commercial, was to introduce the vernacular into portions of the mass to replace Latin, and to widen somewhat the range of music permissible in the liturgy. But I feel that if they really want to sell the product in this secular age, what they ought to do is to re-do some of the liturgical music in popular song forms. I have a modest example here. It's called The Vatican Rag... - - - Lehrer said "OK" to "The Tom Lehrer Wisdom Channel" on YouTube, as long as the performance is not altered and as long as it's free in the YouTube flash video format.
