Greetings,

Here is my most recent arrangement of a Joplin rag for the guitar.
I think it sounds ok, though like all Joplin it's pretty hard.
I left one section out of the arrangement cause it wouldn't work
out too well.  Comments etc. welcome.  Enjoy.
(I assume that Dean Gaudet will archive this at hobbes.linfield.edu)
