GOOD GRAVY



A cool, rainy weekend - much more like autumn than spring. 

I scrapped my Mother's Day post, since my intuition told me it was too saccharine and sentimental. My most popular blog posts are always the inane, mindless, embarrassingly bad ones (like the previous atrocity).

SO -
I sifted through my old piano recordings and found some benign, (non-classical!) ragtime music.

I also found some nonsensical vintage photographs to haphazardly accompany the music.

I slapped the video together in less than twenty minutes and breathed a satisfied sigh of relief - - until I discovered (with horror) that

1. I misspelled a word on the title
and
2. MovieMaker (as usual) messed up
my mp3 music file - so I had to convert the damn thing to a WAVE file......and start all over again.

ANYWAY

here is the Good Gravy Rag, written in 1913 by Harry Barnard Belding (1882 - 1931)
performed by moi.
