But I is likin' what I hear and during a study break tomorrow, I might go buy me some Joplin muzack. Thanx John jnewberr@marlin.utmb.edu

Henk Verdouwe from Soest, , Netherlands wrote on May 1, 1997 at 12:00 am

Thank you for your reaction to my Midi-question. I continue to search the web for the files I mentioned. At this moment I am working on a project to record piano Midi files together with an amateur pianist, who luckily owns a silent Grand Piano, so may be one day we'll have some files available. Your Web-page is very interesting. All the best to you and your family! Henk

William Dunham from Pahrump, NV, USA wrote on April 12, 1997 at 12:00 am

Enjoy your dedication to Scott Joplin. I use your MIDI to have background music. Jeff do you know anything about piano rebuilding? I've recently gotten involved with the restoration of a baby grand for our church and after refinishing the case discovered we need to fabricate and install a new pinboard. Looking for all the information I can garner before tackling the job. Keep up the good work. Bill Dunham (My age = 65)

I haven't really browsed it yet, but as long as it has some info on Scott Joplin I'm happy. So far it looks good!

Jenifer from Florida, , wrote on April 1, 1997 at 12:00 am

I like your page, Jeff. I only have one bad comment... none of your MIDIs will play for me. It says it is the unregisterred copy. For all the ones I've tried. You see, I play the piano, and I like Scott Joplin's works. I'm playing the Entertainer for a play and I was hoping to hear if I had the full version of it in my books. If I don't, I could probly get another book, but why go through all the trouble if I already have it? I would appriciate it if you would e-mail me and give me any MIDI sites that might have "The Entertainer". ~PS~Cool Site!

Thank you for doing what you have done. It's hard to imagine a good reason for ragtimes being ignored by just about everyone.Dick Hymen recorded a 5 record collection of Joplin's complete works (on vinyl RCA). Do you know if it might be re-released?

Great Site. Do you have any other MIDI files other than Scott Joplin. I am specifically looking for two songs and would appreciate it if you have them or you could please tell me where I might find them. Song 1 - A Ragtime Version of the song 42nd Street. Song 2 - The Theme song from the Turner Movie "Gettysburg" I wouldn't want this to be Ragtime, just a nice quality MIDI file would be nice.
