Another year has passed, and how time flies. It seems like a short time ago when some were worried about the year 2000 millennium and what it might do to computers—big hype. Here we are in 2008 and my player piano does not know the difference. The rolls, book music, disks, cobs, and other mediums came through perfectly—absolutely timeless! Our hobby is very strong. Just look at our website www.amica.org and click on YouTube. Check out the short clips of automatic musical instruments—it is endless. It is also interesting to see the number of “hits” by people. My thanks to each and every one of you for supporting AMICA. The 2008 convention is right around the corner in beautiful Woodland Hills, California.

  • John Arpin (Canada) Ragtime Pianist Pianist John Arpin Has Long Been Regarded As One of the Most Versatile Performers on the Canadian Music Scene
    Kecskemét Jazz Foundation – Tamás Ittzés, H-6001 Kecskemét, Pf. 652., Hungary Phone: 20/82-447-82, E-mail: [email protected] Website: www.bohemragtime.com 16th International „Bohém” Ragtime & Jazz Festival March 23-25, 2007 Kecskemét, Erdei Ferenc Cultural Centre John Arpin (Canada) ragtime pianist Pianist John Arpin has long been regarded as one of the most versatile performers on the Canadian music scene. This talented artist composes, arranges, conducts, records and maintains a full concert schedule. He is as comfortable playing solo piano as he is performing in concert with full symphony orchestra and tours extensively throughout Canada, the United States, Europe and the Orient. John Arpin has been nominated for Juno Awards in Canada on three separate occasions and in October of 2000 celebrated a milestone with the release of his 60th career album (by 2005 he has recorded 67 albums). Though he plays everything from turn-of-the-century classics to jazz to Broadway show tunes, John Arpin's name has become synonymous with piano rags and he is respected as one of the top Ragtime musicians in the world today. In June of 1998 Mr. Arpin received the Scott Joplin Award (The Scott Joplin Foundation, Sedalia, Missouri) in recognition of his extraordinary contributions to the field of Ragtime. The late Ragtime great Eubie Blake pronounced John Arpin "the Chopin of Ragtime", while The New York Times labeled him "the Richter of Ragtime". Born in Port McNicoll, Ontario, Mr. Arpin graduated from the Royal Conservatory of Music at the age of sixteen. After studying at the Faculty of Music, University of Toronto, John became active in the Toronto music scene accompanying opera singers and playing jazz with his trio and as a soloist, live and on radio, being a studio musician and arranging for television.

Wright 2016 iii THE RAGTIME PIANO REVIVAL IN AMERICA: ITS ORIGINS, INSTITUTIONS, AND COMMUNITY, 1940-2015 Bryan S. Wright, Ph.D. University of Pittsburgh, 2016 Since the early 1940s, ragtime piano has been the focus of a musical revival community in the United States. Like many other music revival movements, what began as an effort by a dedicated few to revitalize and preserve a “vanishing” musical practice—in this case, one that had flourished from the mid-1890s to the mid-1910s—soon attracted ardent enthusiasts eager to collect, compose, and perform ragtime. They celebrated its historical roots while endeavoring to re-establish ragtime as a thriving tradition. This study, drawing on original archival research, interviews with ragtime community members, and the author’s twelve years as a participant-observer in the community, examines the origins and development of the American ragtime piano revival community.
