"Rag-Alley Dream" played by Tom Brier

A request from YouTuber "edisonphonographfan", hence the announcement and "scratchy" noise jokes (at the beginning of old recordings, a voice announces what the tune is and who is playing). This is a rag from 1902, by Mattie Harl Burgess, who I'm guessing was the wife of vaudeville performer Robert Burgess who is depicted on the cover of the sheet music. You can download the sheet music here (though this is lacking the cover, probably because Mr Burgess is in blackface on it): http://www.ragtimepiano.ca/images/rag... Recorded at the January 2015 meeting of the Mother Lode Ragtime Society, held at the Sutter Creek Ice Cream Emporium, 51 Main Street, Sutter Creek, California.
