    I listened to these jams on (literal) repeat when I was a kid, so here's a medley of themes from "Super Mario Bros.", "Super Mario Bros. 2," and "Super Mario World," all by old school Nintendo composer Koji Kondo. Did the subconscious effects of hearing these songs during my formative years lead to my appreciation of ragtime piano? I don't know but it's possible!

    Ragtime is the sound of all that is pure and wholesome in this world.

      I think it's the only thing in life guaranteed to make me grin like a child watching a magician. I don't think I could be angry and listening to rag at the same time, I'd have to just stop the music, finish being angry, then unpause.
      Helps that it was Nintendo games that made me love genres like ragtime, boogie woogie and blues piano in the first place.

      Ragtime was the music the piano player at any American brothel (and every American brothel had it's own piano and player, almost always a black man) played to let potential customers know the girls were all on their periods so should be passed over, thus the name 'ragtime'.

      Ragtime is where everything began. Very wholesome and pure. Stride made everything ragtime awesome. 123bounce 45 ... or 17656 or 15652565, bounces.
