Gosh, love Scott Joplin. The Entertainer won't get out of my head now for while!When we had a piano (rather than the Hammond organ which replaced it) my husband used to play all kinds of music and Joplin was one of the few not provoking bangings on the wall from neighbours!

I also love Scott Joplin. I have just brought down the music from the "den" and no other title fits the number of letters. I am inspired to play some later.

Brilliant, and how good that you can play it, jazzgirl. Can't play anything except a CD player and not that always.
Does anyone else find it amusing that people tend to quote "If music be the food of love, play on" as if it's a good thing, when actually the speaker wants his appetite to "sicken and so die" ??

Ros, my playing needs the listener to wear earplugs! I used to be able to play Black and white rag at the same speed as Winnie, but now at only quarter the speed and not that well, sadly.

Don't believe the earplugs, jazzgirl.

thanks to all who tried to help. I think I will have to submit The Entertainer as my answer and hope the quiz setter got the numbers wrong. Thanks again

I agree, the compilers have made errors in the past, the next year they post an apology!

Have you heard the vocal version of The Entertainer by The Swingle Singers? I appreciate that it may seem seriously uncool to a real jazz fan, but I'm a sucker for vocal harmonies!

Thanks, bullfrog. that was a blast from the past.
Seems like the person who set up the You Tube clip also can't spell "entertainer" :-))

I seem to remember I have CDs somewhere of the King Singers doing something similar- or am I misremembering?
