How to play LADYBUG RAG, by JAS HILSDON

Back in January of 2022 I asked Jas to show me how he played LADYBUG RAG. I'm so glad I did, so now I can learn it properly myself! You can watch the piano version that he played on the piano on our FB live show here: • LADYBUG RAG, by Jas Hi... Here are the lyrics and chords:

Hi, Ruth. I clicked onto the Andrew Gold podcast and glanced at the chat replay and your name floated by. Imagine the odds. Thousands of podcasts and we landed on the same one at the same time.

WOW!

@@RuthElliottHilsdon9 It's still rumbling around in my brain. A window of 5 seconds tops! If I yawned it would have slipped by. The odds end up being millions to one.
