'Scott Joplin: The Curse of Fame' by Robert Milne, Florida Atlantic University, Jupiter Campus Feb. 19

[Joplin Piano Rags; Roy Eaton, piano; Sony SBK 833 (1995)]

Florida Atlantic University
Robert Milne
The music and life of the most famous name left over from the golden era of ragtime. Listen to his competitors challenge him on the piano, the stigma of being famous, and the final descent into oblivion that came to a musical genius. It’s life in the fast lane for saloon piano players, and second-best isn’t good enough when your next meal depends on it.
