SINGLE SHEETS

Walnut St. Rag

$5

Walnut Street Rag is in the style of composer Euday Bowman who wrote one of the most famous rags of all, Twelfth Street Rag.  Bowman's other rags included 10th Street, 11th Street, and Petticoat Lane, all streets in Kansas City that were intersected by Walnut.  These were all located near Jenkin's Music Store, which was also a publisher of these rags, among many others.  Galen visited the site when Jenkins was still in business.  He thought a Bowman-type rag would be a nice commemoration.

Krumpus' Cakewalk

Krampus' Cakewalk is a Christmas offering dealing with the ancient Alpine legend of Krampus.  He traveled with Saint Nicholas, and children who were naughty - not nice - were carried off to be eaten.  Subtitled "Twas the fright before Christmas", it is "something different" for the holiday!
