Polar Bear Rag...1910...George P. Howard.

[Steve Harrison]

This is another rag by an obscure composer about whom I could find no information. The piano score that I obtained had many errors and throughout, I don't think Howard had decided in exactly which key it was to be played. I did a total rewrite by taking the main three melodies and arranging them all in the key of C.  The resulting arrangement works well on the banjo but bears only a passing resemblance to Howard's original. The score and midi are in the library...Steve.
