John played this at one of his sets in Sutter Creek this past August. Elliott Adams and I had been standing there talking, and he paused and started listening in. He made the remark, "This sounds familiar...I think I have the original." I said, "No you don't." He asked how I knew what he did and didn't have, and I simply said, "Because he wrote it." That is the first time I ever heard a distinguished ragtime pianist drop an F-bomb.
