Silly Ass..1907..Jean-Baptiste Lefrenier

[Steve Harrison]

The composer was born in Quebec, Canada in 1874 where he lived his entire life. He was a composer, piano teacher and choir master. In 1912, he died of TB aged 37. This is an interesting example of Canadian ragtime. The structure of the tune makes it ideal for the banjo with its rising and falling chord progressions and as such is very pleasant to play. The piano score was in C but my arrangement in F better fits the banjo. I've changed the key in the final part from F to C...Steve.
