About Me

I'm the grandniece & biographer of Chas. N. Daniels, the ragtime era composer & publisher who helped Scott Joplin (The King of Ragtime) promote his first published rag in 1899. As I show at the piano, my “Uncle Charlie” composed some great rags himself plus wonderful hits like "Sweet and Lovely" & "She's Funny That Way." I always add a little history to the toe-tapping music I perform; I often write for vintage music publications (e.g., Arcadia's "Images of America - DETROIT Ragtime & the Jazz Age").
