BluesTone 137019 Recut of "Ragtime Oriole"
By Nicholas Simons

I have a copy of the BluesTone roll, "Ragtime Oriole" by James Scott.
It is a copy of the original Artempo 1898, played by Steve Williams,
pseudonym of Ernest L Stevens.

 [ "played by Steve Williams (originally issued on Artempo 1898)
 [ "Jasen & Tichenor describe this rag very well and point out tricks
 [ in the "A" section alluding to the Novelty rag style - already in
 [ 1911!  Williams takes every repeat and follows the printed score
 [ closely, but adds just the right amount of his own embellishments
 [ to make this an excellent hand-played roll.  A fine, lilting rag
 [ classic by one of the masters."
