Dat Johnson Rag..1910..An Ethiopian Intermezzo. C. E. Matchett & N.Clark Smith.

[Steve Harrison]

This is probably the best of my recent ragtime offerings and well worth try. Calbert Earl Matchett was a piano salesman and demonstrator from Wichita and Nathaniel Clark Smith was a distinguished African American military and civilian bandleader working mainly in Kansas City and Chicago. The piano score was written Eb/Bb/Ab, my arrangement is written G/D/C as this better fits with the banjo. My suggested fingering features elements of melodic style...Steve.
