Just wanted to tell you that I'm trying to learn some joplin on guitar and yours was by far the best site. It was a one- stop shop and I appreciate you.

One of the top ten.

Sorry for the incomplete entry before, I'm still getting used to the keyboard on my new 'puter and for some reason "enter" gets in the way when I try to "shift" with my right hand. The site is a worthwhile endeavor on your part. Very fine work. I was led here by a link from Eutychus@aol.com

I love Rag Time!

Miriam A. Childers from Tulsa, OK, USA wrote on November 13, 1997 at 12:00 am

I'm glad to find your site. I'm a native Missourian so am quite familiar with Sedalia, but confess wasn't that much up on Scott Joplin until I saw "The Sting." Have been a ragtime fan ever since and count Molly Kaufmann (a great ivory tickler in her own right) and a very good friend. I certainly enjoy your MIDI files. Keep up the good work.

I'll be at West Coast Ragtime Festival. I saved Peacherine. It was the first rag I heard in modern context on a classic music FM station. It reminded me of the music I'd heard long ago and forgoten.

Joe McKay from Fort Worth, TX, USA wrote on November 8, 1997 at 12:00 am

I've been a Scott Joplin fan ever since I first saw the Sting and play almost all of his published rags. I've even been to the Scott Joplin Festival in Sedilia Mo. And I've used a sequencing program to make my own midi files of his music. Glad to see someone else is doing the same and making it available on the net. Love James Scott's music as well.

Stewart Johnson from Carthage, MO, USA wrote on November 8, 1997 at 12:00 am

1st time here Mr Joplin spent some time in our fair city. About every two years on so we still have a ragtime festival

Scott Joplin created some of my favorite music of all time! I tried to open the Maple Leaf Rag file, but it keeps stopping and it just won't load all the way. Any suggestions? Thanks. 🙂 Stacie

D. Waldron from Bismarck, ND, USA wrote on November 7, 1997 at 12:00 am

Liked your page and will come back to it. I got to it looking for information on my uncle's composition "Danger Rag". Have you ever heard of it? He was a professional musician in the thirties by the name of Vivian Tillotson. I had a copy of it, red cover, but loaned it to a rag piano player and never got it back. I would appreciate any information you might have.Thanks.

I like Scott Joplin's Ragtime Songs. You might want to try to get "Maple Leaf Rag" and "The Entertainer". These two songs are my favorite songs by Scott Joplin.

I enjoy Boogie Woogie, Stride Piano, and Ragtime, among other music forms. I was looking for something on Scott Joplin, played by Scott Kirby, and was not having any luck, when I stumbled upon your website. When I figure out what I need to do, I will download some of your MIDI files. Good luck with your endeavor. I plan to stop back again. Thanks, M.

Cama across your site by chance. I've known about Midi for years but have never really been into it. I am looking for data and technology related in order to get Frankie (my Railroad Computer built entirely from spare and scrap parts) to operate wav files from an external source trigger. The sound card has Midi capability and so the hunt began for " how-to " data. I clicked on your site because of the music connection and the fact that I like Joplin also. Great site. I took the liberty of downloading your archive for use when the Railway has an Open House!! People @ work would really get a kick out of that. Thank you. ......and yes....I bookmarked your address.

I just came back to get about 10 more rags. That just about completes the collection. Now that I have a jukebox working, it makes sense to have a complete collection from your site.

Very nice MIDI page! Is your collection in the public domain? I ask, because I want to use some of the Scott Joplin MIDIs in corporate sites I'm building. (I always include an e-mail link back to the creator of the work when they release it to the public domain. Or in Scott Joplin's case, an e-mail link back to you. That's because Scott Joplin is dead, and can't check his e-mail, you know.)

Charles A. Soriano from Brick, NJ, USA wrote on October 15, 1997 at 12:00 am

Enjoying your hard work on the MIDI's of Joplin. You should include a text file in the Zipped file to identify the songs to their limited 8 letter prefix. Kindly E-mail me when you make any additions to your collection. Thanks.
