Just acquired an excellent ragtime recording: "Joseph F. Lamb:
The Complete Stark Rags", performed by Guido Nielsen.
Lamb, along with Scott Joplin and James Scott, was one of the
"big three" classical ragtime composers. Included in this CD
are "Sensation", "Excelsior", "American Beauty", "Reindeer",
"Top Liner", "Nightingale", and others.
Guido Nielsen is a Dutch pianist. I'd not heard him before.
He plays these pieces with wonderful style and precision.
The CD includes great liner notes by Galen Wilkes; they include
reproductions of the original covers of all the pieces.
Highly recommended.

Based on John's recommendations, I was preparing to get copies of
"The Tichenor Family Trio" (resp:9) and the Joseph Lamb CD (resp:12),
for both myself and my father.
However, no path is ever simple. In party I mentioned to John that
I had exchanged e-mail with Marty Eggers, who is a part of the Tichenor
Family Trio, about ordering some CDs, and in response John mentioned that
Marty Eggers also plays with a ragtime band called Bo Grumpus.
I looked up some Bo Grumpus tracks on mp3.com and I think that one
of their albums will push out the Joseph Lamb disc for now.
Bo Grumpus is a trio of guitar, bass and percussion, and the sample
tracks on mp3.com sound *exactly* like stuff my father will love.
