Aleander's ragtime band!

Yes, there is my Grandson, Samuel, in the rear with real time jive and in the foreground his little brother, Benjamin. Sam is 8 and Ben is 4 and they live in Loveland, Colorado and are the children of Lisa and Greg.

So if you want to hear that Swanee river played in ragtime-Loveland is the place.

Ragtime Band
Melody - Melody - and Text: Irving Berlin (Israel Baline), 1911
Oh, ma honey, oh, ma honey,Better hurry and let's meanderAin't you goin', ain't you goin',To the leader man,Ragged meter man?Oh, ma honey, oh, ma honey,Let me take you to alexander'sGrand stand, brass band,Ain't you comin' along?

Oh, ma honey, oh, ma honeyThere's a fiddle with notes that screeches,Like a chicken, like a chickenAnd the clarinetIs a colored pet,Come and listen, come and listen,To a classical band what's peaches,Come now, somehow,Better hurry along.
Refrain:: Come on and hear, : Alexander's Ragtime Band,: Come on and hear, :It's the best band in the land!They can play a bugle callLike you never heard before,So natural that you want to go to warThat's just the bestest band what am,Honey Lamb!
: Come on along, : Let me take you by the hand: Up to the man, :Who's the leader of the band,And if you want to hearThe Swanee River played in ragtime: Come on and hear, : Alexander's Ragtime Band
