Maple Leaf Rag - U.S. Marine Band, dir. Lt. William Santelmann, 1906.
And I must say, the sound quality is danged good for 1906. (It's a Victor.)

Danged good for 1906 is right, but what's an armed services band doing playing the Maple Leaf Rag? Okay, just kidding, but...Wonder how many of those members served in the Span-Am War and/or the Boxer Rebellion.

For more heat in the Twin Cities, try one of these sides by Walter Anderson and his Golden Pheasant Hoodlums on your machine. "Alabama Stomp" is particularly manic. Gordie Green, the Brass Bass player, really earns his salary on this one!
