Kansas City was a virtual "hot bed" of ragtime activity in 1903; music composers and publishers were abundant. Ninety years later, in 1993, with a desire to play music from a bygone era, the "TurpinTyme Ragsters" were formed. We armed ourselves with a list of local ragtime "Hall of Fame" composers and traced their music from Kansas City to Sedalia to St. Louis and beyond. The album was digitally recorded in March 1997 and is offered for $17.95 which includes postage and handling.
We hope you enjoy our efforts!
