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:
