Hap Lil Mose is certainly about the most unique piece I've ever heard and one that is so happy sounding!!

[@stevenfairless4931]

Thanks Adam .. My eyes sprang open at 4:30 and you were on my YT feed .. so I had a nice RagTime breakfast before the family got up. A nice start to the work week :) I was dreaming of how to incorporate some Riffs into my Harmonica, We shall see.

[@lanceschaina3084]

For people like me that have an outsized knowledge of Joplin's rags, and a large ignorance of all the others, the last strain of the Pea Picker Rag (around 35:00) is very reminiscent of the third strain of the Peacherine Rag. Just wanted to let you know in case you were thinking, "Hey...haven't I heard that before?"

[@adamgswanson]

Yes, this is part of my arrangement of the piece -- the original recording includes a strain reminiscent of "Peacherine Rag."
