Dill Pickles Rag by Charles Johnson (1906)

I felt really happy playing this song. There are some parts where it's not as smooth as I want it to be so I will keep working on it. “Dill Pickle Rag” (aka “Dill Pickles”) was composed in 1906 by Charles L. Johnson. It was the first Ragtime tune to sell more than a million copies of sheet music.  The chief device that made “Dill Pickles” so attractive was the 3-note-melody-against-a-4-beat-rhythm pattern that subsequently became a standard motif in Ragtime music.
