Ragtime Australia!
Hello music lovers!! This digital album began as a project that was just a favor for two friends. The vast majority of this historic Australian music from the period of approximately 1902 to 1943 has never been recorded before. When I realized that I had the opportunity to record it on a fine grand piano at my parents’ home, I decided the music was worthy of being shared with the world and should really be released professionally. Here are my debut recordings of many previously unheard, authentic Australian ragtime piano pieces, ragtime songs, and novelty piano solos.
