It was just so good last year, and there was still so much subject matter to cover. So the bigwigs with the 1998 Conference on American Band History decided to continue the ragtime theme with The Ragtime Era II, this year's conference title. The Ragtime Era II'' will be 9 a.m.-4 p.m. Friday, June 12, in Weisiger Theatre at the Norton Center for the Arts.
Early registration is requested.
There are a lot of popular sounds to it and it goes over very well. Then, pianist Scott Kirby is back for a session on piano ragtime music. Cipolla said of Reffkin. He lives in San Francisco and has a ragtime orchestra and a radio program on ragtime that he's done for years. The New Walnut Street All-Star Orchestra, led by David Reffkin, plays next.
