During the 2015 West Coast Ragtime Festival, Adam Swanson & Martin Spitznagel play a two-piano duet of this piece by Eubie Blake, the legendary ragtimer who continued playing right up until his death in 1983 at the age of 96. Blake was part of one of the earliest experiments in matching film with audio in 1923, playing with his long-time musical partner Noble Sissle. See it here: youtube.com/watch?v=YZtzr7LSL1s
This piece is believed to have been composed in the first decade or two of the 20th century, though Eubie didn't register the copyright until much later.
