This is the music of the smile. The early 1900s were a time when just about everyone owned a piano where family and neighbors would gather around and sing together. G. K. Chesterton said that records destroyed neighborhood singing. People started listening to professional singers for the silly idea that those people could sing better.
I’m enjoying the slideshow of ordinary people in daily life as much as the music. I would love to browse around in these general stores, drugstores, hardware stores & etc. of this era.
Those buildings still exist where I live and are just as beautiful and nostalgic as the music. Thank you so much for keeping the history alive for future generations.
I agree. The musical term for what is being done is called syncopation. Quite beautiful in ragtime pieces. If you’d like another interesting one, look up Peril In Pantomime.
Estoy encantada, Yo toco el piano y siempre me ha fascinado los temas de películas antiguas, y uno de mis favoritos es Scott Joplin❤🎉 tengo un libro con sus temas musicalea. Excelente todo, musica y fotos de la época. ❤ Desde Venezuela con amor. Gracias🙏💕.
I can’t sit. I listen, dance,and let my whole body move to the rhythm , it’s exciting and invigorating- in one Big word “ Exercise” Am starting to sweat now. Thank you. 90s already.
We're using this as background music for the saloon in our old west themed yard haunt. It adds *so much* to the ambience; very happy to have found the video. Many thanks for posting!
There's a bunch of tunes in here that aren't ragtime and should not be confused as such: Ain't We Got Fun Charleston Rag Dream Of You A Smile Goes A Long Way All Aboard A March Medley All American Woman All or Nothing at All These Quakers Are Shoulder Shakers Blue Heaven Bow Wow Bright Eyes Bright Eyes Chili Bom Bom I Certainly Could Dream Home Pretty Lady A Lady in Love A Lane in Spain Most of these are player piano roll arrangements that have been transcribed and quantized and fall in the novelty and foxtrot piano genres respectively.
@@missamericana.4 Yeah, and it's not a ragtime tune at all. Rags were written right out until around 1930 but very little were written after around 1923.
@@Julie-oh5gp if you already play the piano, go for it. They are not as hard as they seem. In particular, once you learn your first 3 rags, the rest is pretty straight forward. Your hands will be used to the syncopated rhythm and they will all feel the same (to a certain degree of course).

Love the video! Does Dream Of You go by a different name? Edit: All I do is dream of you (from dancing in the rain) is the official name for anyone searching!
I really appreciate the effort done to make the piano sound like a musical instrument. The attacks are pleasingly mellow, and the balance between bass, middle register and bass is exemplary. The tempo makes sense, too ☺.
This music was played in bordellos at first and the people who loved it were considered to have poor character so…..lay off the “ oh golly gee things were so much nicer way back when”. Its a fantasy
Perfect new addition to our "bedroom soundtrack" -- really helps her get those creative juices flowing, and def puts this guy fully into that steamy, slippery sort of mood. 10/10, would smash again!

Ragtime is some of the best American music ever produced
Disagree

Great music to do chores by. The sprightly pace keeps me in motion. The music me in a sunnier mood, too. It’s inherently optimistic.
You said it. I was just about to go do some chores!
That’s a good girl

I ♥️ Scott Joplin tunes!!!
When I’m in the saloon and some cowboys is making some big talk and the pianist starts playing this (I’m gonna show him why I oughtta)
Thankyou. Thankyou thankyou
whoa sounds like whoever's playing the cottage has like 3 hands
I do like indeed.
Hearing and listening to "Roaming" reminded me of this classic - enjoy!😊 watch?v=nNd2yEMfcxI
Good old ragtime
Where are the recordings from?
LENNEH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why does "Ain't we got fun" sound like some christmas song aaahhH
Where i can find All Aboard?
35:40 yayyy locomotives
😂❤🎉
Any details on the pianist/s?
Isn’t this slide piano - not ragtime?
Its good and all but hmm
I wouldnt really rate it a 10 prob a low 9
WE ARE MAKING OUR DEPARTURE FROM THE SALOON WITH THIS ONE 🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I'VE GYATT TO MAKE IT TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD SINGING EVENT!
tfw your girl gets rizzed up by a rather odd fellow at the saloon 🤦♂️
when the jolly old rag hits extra hard 👌
I regret opening replies
@@BongbongoI have no idea what kind of dialect that guy above us is speaking......
Listening to this while playing cards and making donuts was the highlight of both my evening and my 1am
I'd have more fun listening to it and eating the donuts!

I love how upbeat aint we got fun!! I'm glad to know there are other fun ragtimes beside scott joplins
Willie The Lion Smith
It was strange to hear “A Cottage For Sale,” one of the saddest songs in the entire world, sound so upbeat and carefree.
@@frankiebowie6174 i didn't know the song so i looked it up, listened to it, then came and listened to this rag version. You're so right hahaha
Thank you for this great collection of rags and early photos. Great stuff!
Atta boy! Fine artistry. One piano man Band. ALL notes clear, no sustain, and what rich register. Bravo!

Come to think...... a person playing can make the ambiente even more cool? Try, im sure it will be fantastic!
That’s totally awesome 😎
Wow, what a fantastic historical excursion. THANKS! I even bookmarked this page. ... and, of course, I subscribed.
There's a bunch of tunes in here that aren't ragtime and should not be confused as such:
Ain't We Got Fun
Charleston Rag
Dream Of You
A Smile Goes A Long Way
All Aboard
A March Medley
All American Woman
All or Nothing at All
These Quakers Are Shoulder Shakers
Blue Heaven
Bow Wow
Bright Eyes
Bright Eyes
Chili Bom Bom
I Certainly Could
Dream Home
Pretty Lady
A Lady in Love
A Lane in Spain
Most of these are player piano roll arrangements that have been transcribed and quantized and fall in the novelty and foxtrot piano genres respectively.
Do any of these go by different names? Specifically Dream of You?
@@finnkomai1447 I imagine some of the titles are abbreviated to a single line or the end of a line, common mistake.
Yes, "Ain't We Got Fun?" is from 1921...not early 1900s.
@@missamericana.4 Yeah, and it's not a ragtime tune at all. Rags were written right out until around 1930 but very little were written after around 1923.
Nice to hear a broad selection of Ragtime, some say America’s first pop music. Thanks.
Yes, pop music used to be actually good. ❤
@@rickmerritt128 Totally! I can't stand modern pop music...
Today people sit at home, order online, and watch videos & listen to music on their phones all while lying on the couch in the dark.
And call it “living” and “better off now”. 😉
But the ragtime guys
I really wish I could learn to play these rags

Tuesday or Wednesday, going on a long drive. This will be perfect music for the early morning.

When this plays you know how to fight properly
I feel like I lived another life in 1860 something.
1890s to 1917 if you are talking about Ragtime .

This music makes me smile every single time!! 😊😊😊😊
I still say Joplin was/is the King of Ragtime.
Best musi ever, pleasant and happy, for people who love to dance
This is so wonderful- hats off to the person who sat down to create this compilation of masterpieces!
I could be at the circus, watching a silent film, or waiting for the ice cream man. I’m not sure.
I think it's all three.
❤❤
I am trying to find the piano sheet music to "The Cottage"--the one played here not the one by Ophiia Wilde
I love this video so much, I have a phone collection and every time I get a working phone I give this video a bunch of views on each one
1:15:00

Wonderful, music + photos!!!

My compositions different from back then
QUE BELLA MELODÍA!!!!
Thanks. Good music and great pictures.
me in school playing blackjack with my friends:
Why does this playlist actually slap
I need a beer old time bar music lol
Gonna play this when I get my Pip-Boy
aint we got fun lyrics "here comes Santa Claus here comes Santa Claus right down Santa Claus lane" lol
Do another one 😍😍😍😍
TIL "here comes santa clause" samples this old composition at 8:36. neat.
Lol you're right
My father would have heard this in his youth
bouta drink some water to this song
Spectacular photos!
I love this awesome music
Thanks for posting it 🙏
very enjoyable
Also...whoever put this up......much abliged.....thanks....
Ahhh, music to my ears!!!!
Pretty good song in my opinion❤
Buzz lightyear
Ain't We Got Fun reminded me of a certain Christmas song or 2( I forgot what its called)
Here Comes Santa Claus (Right Down Santa Claus Lane).
Indeed it reminded me of a familiar Christmas song and I wondered which came first, and ain’t we got fun came first
Excellent - but who is playing?
I believe Maestro Midi is at the keys in this particular set of jovial recordings :D
Live laguh love
Ragtime….shameless music that’ll grab your son your daughter with the arms of a jungle animal instinct!
I'm kind of happy I wasn't alive in the 1900s lol, otherwise I'd be dead now.
Saloon doors
I love. God. Thankyou life thankyou. Great. Musica
Newspaper
It made my day
Coyboys
currently trying to learn how to juggle and ragtime tunes felt like the proper background music for this occasion LOL
Woody
It's too bad that they chose this machine piano or awful pianist to play ragtime.
😂🎉
Top. Memoris
This music makes me feeling nostalgic. Think I was born in the wrong century.
Andagain...
Great music- from a time when people had character
What are you talking about people still have character
@MersitonTheGood well yes- I agree 👍. But there's a big difference between good character and bad character 🤔 😉
