The Strenuous Life (Scott Joplin) played by Tom Brier

Description

At the May 2012 meeting of the Mother Lode Ragtime Society, Will Perkins wanted to hear how Tom would play some well-known classic rags, so he put the famous Dover compilation "Classic Piano Rags" in front of Tom and turned to a few rags by Scott Joplin, James Scott and Tom Turpin. I recorded a few, including this one.

"The Strenuous Life" was published in 1902 and is public domain. You can download the sheet music of this and many other Joplin compositions from http://www.ragtimepiano.ca/rags/joplin.htm

Recorded at the Sutter Creek Ice Cream Emporium, 51 Main Street, Sutter Creek, California.
