Joseph F. Lamb - The Old Home Rag 1959 (Ragtime Piano Synthesia)

The Old Home Rag by Joseph F. Lamb
Wikipedia:
Joseph Francis Lamb was an American composer of ragtime music. Lamb, of Irish descent, was the only non-African American of the "Big Three" composers of classical ragtime, the other two being Scott Joplin and James Scott. The ragtime of Joseph Lamb ranges from standard popular fare to complex and highly engaging. His use of long phrases was influenced by classical works he had learned from his sister and others while growing up, but his sense of structure was potentially derived from his study of Joplin's piano rags. By the time he added some polish to his later works in the 1950s, Lamb had mastered the classic rag genre in a way that almost no other composer was able to approach at that time, and continued to play it passably as well, as evidenced by at least two separate recordings done in his home, as well as a few recorded interviews.
Lamb was born in Montclair, New Jersey. The youngest of four children, he taught himself to play the piano and admired the early ragtime publications of Scott Joplin. He dropped out of St. Jerome's College in 1904 to work for a dry goods company. He met Joplin in 1907 while purchasing the latest Joplin and Scott sheet music in the offices of John Stark & Son. Joplin was impressed with Lamb's compositions and recommended him to ragtime publisher John Stark. Stark published Lamb's music for the next decade, starting with "Sensation".

"The road to success leads through the valley of humility, and the path is up the ladder of patience and across the wide barren plains of perseverance. As yet, no short cut has ever been discovered." - Joseph F. Lamb

He didn't make a living as a musician. He was an accountant.

@@woodruffashbourne8372 Oh really?

@@itsRemco Joe Lamb was never really a good piano player if you compare him with Eubie Blake, James P Johnson or Pete Wendling but overall he was a good composer so that is why he look up to Scott Joplin so much because they are both study heads and both one of the best ragtime writers of all time. Well, he played piano as a hobby since he was working in a tobacco industry so he combined both laboring as being a musician
