| This seems to be the only rag Paul Pratt ever wrote. Written in 1914, it has always appealed to me for its offbeat harmony and phrasing. |

| While not particularly "Politically Correct" by today's standards, this tune has a really nice bounce to it and its melody has always appealed to me and the band did a nice job playing the arrangement. |

| This wonderful rag written in 1904 is credited to "Barney & Seymour" although nobody has been able to verify who this pair really was. It has been a standard for ragtime guitar players for many years. |

| Written by our own Jim Maihack, this was originally called "Midnight In Medford", but the original title never got much response! From Jim: The answer to that perplexing question is that I wrote it in 1984 while I was living in Oregon and, as you know, originally entitled it "Midnight in Medford".I never copyrighted it, although I probably should have. In fact, maybe I'll do that soon. I have copyrights on "Accidental Rag" and "Chicken Foot Rip" for whatever good they'll do me. |

| Written just after the turn of the century, this standard almost-Gay 90s tune is familiar to everyone. We start out in its original waltz tempo and then change to 4/4 for the "jazz" choruses. |
