Mississippi Bubble

[Jody Stecher]

OK, the video of Mississippi Bubble is now successfully uploaded. I might try another pass at playing it better sometime in the future. I think phrasing it  as brass bands do might bring out the melody better. The version I posted has some features of the Joe Morely arrangement, some from the Vess Ossman recording, and a few ideas of my own. 

The title is intriguing. As some undoubtedly know, The Mississippi Bubble was a investing scam from a few hundred years ago. But why is that the title of a ragtime piece? 

My apologies for the 2 false postings of The Tantalizer. Youtube seems to have been temporarily malfunctioning. Or perhaps it was my brain.  

Maybe those two can be deleted by the moderator? I'm not sure how to do it myself or even if I can.
