Scott Joplin ~ Maple Leaf Rag You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton | |

I have a CD full of his different rag reordings, and the title track is one of the best pieces of instrumental music there is. A lot of people don't realize he is also responsible for The Entertainer. | |
