Sleepy Hollow Rag - Clarence Woods (1918) Ragtime Novelty Piano Solo

Sleepy Hollow Rag (a Unique Rag Novelty) by Clarence Woods, composed in 1918.
October 'spooky season' music continues with a cozy acoustic performance of the Sleepy Hollow Rag. I find this one to be a bit more melancholic than spooky, but it's a beautiful piece either way, and is at least thematically appropriate for Halloween. Woods had a very small ragtime output but made a significant contribution (Bill Edwards has a great bio on his website you can read here: ragpiano.com/ra... ) Enjoy! 🎃🐎🦇

Very nice. I agree with "more melancholy than spooky", just a nice listening piece. I like the acoustic, with all the amazing advances they've made in digital instruments - the sounds, the touch, etc - there's still something about an actual old school acoustic piano, ya' know?!

[@ChristinaPepper]

Definitely! I haven't had a good way of recording the acoustic until I got this little handheld recorder but I'm super impressed with the sound quality. And the tremolos and everything in this rag are just perfect for it ☺️

Bravo!

Amazing 😍 🌹

Really laid back and well, pleasing. Figured more lively being a Rag tune, but I approve. Very nice, Christina!

[@ChristinaPepper]

Thank you! Yeah, this one is more relaxed and "sleepy" I'd say 😁. If you want lively check out this one I posted last week: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b3LGqJ6pf6mIeKs

Sorry but as a photographer I find it annoying when anyone films video in the vertical mode on a cell phone.

I agree... unfortunately all of the social media platforms greatly favor portrait videos to landscape. It makes it difficult to upload clips of my full screen videos to Facebook, Instagram, etc. so I occasionally record things like this.
