Woo me with that wonderful wiggle-wag

Ms Hollie and I were talking about a couple of songs the other day... turns out they're both from 1911, a good year for ragtime novelty songs.

When Ragtime Rosie Ragged The Rosary

Words by Edgar Leslie. Music by Lewis F. Muir

Original sheet music

Lyrics without the notes

Listen to piano midi
(I didn't find a period recording on line with a short search)


Red Rose Rag

Words by Edward Madden. Music by Percy Wenrich.

Original sheet music

Lyrics without the notes

Listen to an Edison cylinder recorded by the Premier Quartette

Love The Red Rose Rag, but prefer it by Dolly Connolly, as intended: http://www.archive.org/download/DollyConnolly/DollyConnolly-RedRoseRag.mp3

1911. Something worth looking into, that year is.
