It chronicles a life that is intriguing and a dedication to public service that is heartening." --Hugh Downs, distinguished broadcaster and Chairman of the U.S. Committee for UNICEF "I've enjoyed reading [this] memoir. Parts of it are hilarious, and parts of it are moving and impressive. . . . 'Still Counting' tells the story of an adventurous, committed, and consistently interesting life." --Justin Kaplan, Pulitzer Prize-winning biographer and editor of Bartlett's Familiar Quotations
Ragtime, the jaunty, toe-tapping music that captivated American society from the 1890s through World War I, forms the roots of America’s popular musical expression. But the understanding of ragtime and its era has been clouded by a history of murky impressions, half-truths, and inventive fictions. Ragtime: A Musical and Cultural History cuts through the murkiness. A methodical survey of thousands of rags along with an examination of then-contemporary opinions in magazines and newspapers demonstrate how the music evolved, and how America responded to it.
