If that is true, then why do I feel that Douglas Henderson's Artcraft
ragtime rolls are, in some mysterious way, superior to most other
ragtime rolls?  And why do I find, when playing any ragtime piece on
the piano with my own fingers, that there are a dozen different ways
to perform each of the phrases of the music?
