This post is from 2016, from the late Eric Bergeson, the Country Scribe, who plays “Gladiolus Rag,”a middle-period classic rag by Scott Joplin, considered by many to be Joplin’s best.
Are you up for some uplifting music this Christmas morn? How about a little “Gladiolus Rag,”a middle-period classic rag by Scott Joplin, considered by many to be his best. Here it is performed by The Country Scribe, Eric Bergeson.
“Elite Synchopations,” a lesser-known ragtime by Scott Joplin, but probably one the most fun to play. Joplin said it is never right to play ragtime fast. Long may he spin in his grave!
