"The Entertainer" is a 1902 #classicPianoRag written by #ScottJoplin. It was sold first as sheet music by #JohnStarkAndSon of #SaintLouisMissouri, and in the 1910s as #pianoRolls that would play on #playerPianos. The first recording was by #blues and #ragtime musicians "the #BlueBoys" in 1928, played on #mandolin and #guitar. As one of the classics of the ragtime genre, it returned to international prominence as part of the style revival in the 1970s.

I played two sets on the stage at the Pineridge Bluegrass Folklore Society event in Oshawa yesterday - one set vocal/mandolin, one set upright bass. Then two hours of playing with friends in one of the jam rooms. What a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon!

Ein sehr schönes Percussion Intro und dann der fabelhafte Mandolinist Avi Avital. Ich liebe dieses Stück, wir spielen es auch in unserer Band, aber bei mir ist noch soooooooo viel Luft nach oben.

These are what's helping me stay sane through these crazy political times.

Relearning the #guitar and #bass, and just picked up the #mandolin.

4, 6 or 8 take your choice. I'm planning to gift myself a 12 string guitar in July as my retirement present to myself. Might have to add a 10 string tenor guitar just to complete the set.
