Tribute to Scott Joplin

**sallybode** · 15 December 2005, 04:15 AM

I love piano music and appreciate the works of Scott Joplin. There is now a zip file with "Solace" a composition by Scott Joplin, performed by me. I'm not the greatest at the piano but I was able to edit it in Cakewalk. His must have had very large hands. I can reach an octave, one note passed, actually. Some of his spreads are more like an octave and a half. So this is one of the ones he didn't make such large spreads with his hands.

Hope you like it.

Play those tunes Sally, play those tunes

What a wonderful animation, thanks for sharing...

Rag eh, very cool stuff for sure... we jam a lot of 12 bar blues around our house...

Very nice!

Myself, I play boogie-woogie, although I also play blues on Hammond organ, Wurlitzer electric piano (OK - I actually use a Casio...) and bass guitar.

In case you missed it last time, here's a nice Fender bass:

Ah, I can see the animation now ! I had to turn off my security suite to do so but it was worth it

. Nice Avatar too Sally

.

Don't know why they call it a 'suite'.....I mean you can't sit on it and watch TV can you

? Have to fix it now.

Great animation, Sally. I can hear Scott Joplin in my head every time I look at your animation.

Took your advice, I backed up individual cells because when I went back into it, anytime I went to a frame, Xara crashed.

Then when I went back into the program, so long as I had background selected, it had no problem, must be I have to make that selection to create stability when I open it again.

I noticed your avitar the other day and thought it was really cool... Complimenting you on your animation is the opportunity for me to compliment you on the avitar... great job on both! Keep up on the good work, you're an inspiration!
