Rick Benjamin writes in response to our post announcing the Paragon Ragtime Orchestra's May 27 concert of the music of Scott Joplin at the composer's gravesite at St. Michael's Cemetery in Queens, New York:

Thanks Bill:

Here's a photo of me playing "Maple Leaf Rag" on the composer's grave, as the conclusion of the Centennial Memorial.  

 

About 500 people turned out, including a news crew from Japan. 

Thanks for your support. 

Sincerely,
