We present here a cross-section of this lesser-known ragtime music, ranging from the haunting folk melody of Levee Revels (1898) to the cinematic flair of Key-Stone Rag (1921), from the cakewalk at a Georgia Camp Meeting (1897) to unique, strutting Bantam Step (1916). From San Francisco to New York, New Orleans to Chicago, ragtime became synonymous with popular music. Charley Straight and J. B. Walsh summed it up perfectly when they wrote that "Everything is Ragtime Now."
