Monday Music: Gladiolus Rag

In 1970 Joshua Rifkin began recording works by ragtime pianist Scott Joplin on the Nonesuch label and thus launched a ragtime revival. Shortly thereafter, Marvin Hamlish would use Joplin's music to score the soundtrack for the hit film, The Sting.

Gladiolus Rag is one of my favorite tracks off the Rifkin album. Listening to it makes my heart glad!
