Description
English: Original listing and sheet music here: https://musescore.com/user/36482158/scores/14561110?from=youtube_share
A really good rag, smooth and slick, from a one-off composer. George Hardaway Frazer (1884-1934) was a lifelong resident of Alabama and was described as a talented musician. That he could write a good rag there was no question but this is the only one known to be published. Published by Globe Music in New York City in 1911; the edition shown here was published by Dinsdale's Pty. Ltd. in Melbourne, Australia via Albert & Sons in Sydney probably around 1912. 

Original score source was the National Library of Australia who can furnish a copy for a fee, at this link: https://catalogue.nla.gov.au/catalog/792515

This is a reproduction of the original score. Thank you to NLA for allowing me to publish it.

Thanks also to Musescore's JohnJ1995 for finding the above link for me, and to YouTuber MooPotPie for suggesting this great rag.
