Gargoyle ~ That real audio web site is great. I just finished going through each rendition of Ain't Missbehavin. Fun playing along but quite a workout. The keys most used were Eb, Db, Bb and E.

Back in the late 40's and early 50's a band I was playing played it in Eb. These days I play it solo mainly for my own enjoyment and play it in the key of C as its a bit easier on the old fingers.

I enjoy playing rags, however these days a lot of people consider anything written during the 20's or 30's as being ragtime.
