I was ambling through the Internet when I discovered that the Univ. of Missouri - Kansas City has a digitized (MIDI) collection of Kansas City music, including ragtime and other jolly stuff. James C. Scott was a noted ragtime composer, and I found a waltz he wrote, called "The Suffragette Waltz." I like it; it's different. So I changed it from Eb to C to make it more accesssible for me and removed a repeat, because it was getting too long. It looks to me like you need at least 3 hands to play it, but I'll send the results to Joe for posting, so you can hear (and maybe play) something unusual. I think it's still too long in the middle, but removing repeats across 5 lines of music takes such a long time. The date of the piece is 1914.
