Great videos Ron!  And thanks for providing the song list for both videos.

I'm pretty sure, though, that Brian Holland & Bill Edwards are playing Honeysuckle Rose on the second video.

I think that Frank French's violin/piano duo is of Sidewalk Blues.  I may be wrong, though.

I would also like to add, as usual, that "Blue Clover Man" is by Max Kortlander (music) and J. Russel Robinson (words) (1920); The tune Nan Bostick and Shirley Case are playing is "X-N-Tric" by Louise V. Gustin (c.1900). The Wurlitzer Pianino rag still has yet to be identified, but I'm sure an easy way to do it would be for me to ask the owner of the Pianino what rolls he brought to the festival, and deduce the tune from there: sure, it would be easier, but it wouldn't be as fun (as listening to a bunch of obscure rags)!

Richard Egan:  Cotton Bolls, by Charles Hunter.

Jazz is an American musical phenomenon.  In 1987, the Joint Houses of Congress declared Jazz to be an American National Treasure.  As it embodies inventiveness, Jazz has changed forever how we enjoy rhythm and tone.  Scroll down to find jazz festivals, jazz cruises, jazz clubs & societies, jazz history, jazz magazines, jazz audio files and more.

It is with great sadness that we tell you John Arpin  passed away November 8, 2007. He was to have been a performer at this year's festival. The festival is being dedicated to his memory and his many contributions to ragtime. He will be greatly missed. His wife, Mary Jane, has put together a 'blogspot' about John's life at  http://johnandmaryjane.blogspot.com.
