The Tichenor Family Trio (Ragophile, 2000).  Trebor
Tichenor, Virginia Tichenor, and Marty Eggers.

The Tichenor family is about the closest thing we have
to a ragtime dynasty.  Trebor Tichenor has been active
since the 1950's as a ragtime researcher, composer, and
performer (he edited several of the invaluable Dover
ragtime anthologies published in the 1970's and 1980's).
His daughter Virginia (mentioned above) is a fine
pianist, and her husband Marty Eggers does both piano
and string bass.  In this album they perform solo, and
in various combinations, works by Brun Campbell, Jelly
Roll Morton, Eubie Blake, Scott Joplin, W.C. Handy,
and others.  A highlight of this album for me is
Virgina's fine performance of David Guion's exquisite
"Texas Fox Trot" from 1915.
