“This is an 'Off Topic' edition of The Summa. Here are three performances of the St. Luke's Bottle Band, from the St. Lukes Lutheran Church of Park Ridge, Illinois. This description is from their web page:
“Founded in 1979 by Professor Paul Phillips, over the past few years the St. Luke’s Bottle Band has been featured on National Public Radio, the NBC Nightly News, Wild Chicago and the Jenny Jones Show. The band has traveled to Atlanta Georgia to perform for the American Lutheran Church Musicians Conference, as well as Door County, Wisconsin, to present a concert at the Fish Creek Auditorium. The Bottle Band has appeared on An American Moment with James Earl Jones and twice on the Late Show with David Letterman.” [Scott Joplin (1868-1917) is profiled at AfriClassical.com]

How did you ever find my post? It is, after all, a blog about accounting. Anyway, thanks for publicizing it. The music of Joplin is quite deserving.
