I don't think I've ever gotten any better by playing with a metronome. All it does is make me angry. I'd rather feel the music than the beat

I know eventually I'm going to have to get better at rhythm but I don't see it happening
-

What does feeling the music, rather than the beat, mean to you?

Right, I was not clear, the “-“in my post was a place holder for “and” out loud. I believe this is how A. J. Weidt has you do it.
Without time, rhythm, and counting there is no music. It is just random noise. Even music that sounds like there is no time or rhythm actually has some. You might spend a couple min before your practice with the metronome just sounding one note in time to the click and counting.
If you can’t play in time and count you will never be able to play with anyone else or an accompaniment. You are pretty much dead in the water if you expect to pursue music without it.

Probably both mad at the metronome and myself. I thought it was 3/4.

Yeah I know I'm dead in the water if I can't keep time. I doubt I'll ever be able to do it though. Especially with complicated ragtime.

In Eureka method the time signature is 3/4. In several others, including 3 in the library here, it is notated in 6/8.
Same tune. Different distribution of ink.

Thank you Jody and apologies Austin! I made the mistake of not looking at the Winners version.
The rhythm sounds like it is played in 6/8 and not 3/4.
Here is W. Jacobs arrangement:

Stop attempting to play tunes that are beyond your capabilities. For a month, study only the initial exercises in the Bradbury tutor book and the earlier one by Ellis and then post some recordings of them.

It's no issue. Ah I see!
