November 25, 2012 RRR Show – November 25, 2012
I had the good fortune to attend the 2012 West Coast Ragtime Festival which was held in Sacramento, California from November 16-18. We had a wonderful 3 solid days of non-stop music of the ragtime era and meeting friends, old and new. All during the event I jotted down song titles to use as the basis for the playlist for this show. You can listen and/or download by clicking on the link below. I hope you enjoy the show, and hope to see YOU at next year's West Coast Ragtime Festival!
