I’ve been thinking about music a lot lately. I guess that’s obvious. This morning I was awakened by Scott Joplin on the radio. NPR was doing a piece about Joplin and a recording of a recently found piano roll was playing when my clock radio went off. It was the “Maple Leaf Rag.” How can you not like that number? After I got my coffee I remembered another piece by Joplin, that I love. I found it later in my collection. Its called Solace. I’ve played it about 30 times today.

Did Scott Joplin find me today, or did I find him?
