Smoky Topaz (1901)...Grace Marie Bolen.

[Steve Harrison]

This is a fine piece of  early ragtime by one of the few female composers.

It was originally written in Ab/Db and I've transposed it to C/F to make it better fit the banjo and for ease of playing .http://www.ragpiano.com/comps/gbolen.shtml  This link will tell you more about Bolen. This is well worth trying...Steve.
