I'd like to hear from folks who are ragtime fans about *why* they like ragtime in particular. I'm interested because we all know that the
word "ragtime" has some negative connotations associated with it; that
it is rinky-tink music that is supposed to be play in salons on
out-of-tune upright pianos. When I tell my classical music friends
that I've attended concerts where ragtime was played on a 9-foot (in
tune) grand piano, they are amazed. They actually ask me, "But isn't
ragtime supposed to be played on an upright?"
