Cotton Pickers Rag..1899..William J. Braun

[Steve Harrison]

This is a very well written early rag, all I could find out about the composer is what is on the title page. He is shown as the bandmaster of the 1st. Naval Battalion Band, this is his only known published composition. I've given it the full banjo treatment which makes it a good banjo solo. In the second and last parts, instead of using the usual triplet notation, I've used 2 grace notes and a semi quaver to make the midi sound more like it should be played...Steve.

The first section sounds a lot like "A Georgia Camp Meeting" (a great tune also).
