Here's another very rare rag from the Queen City, Cincinnati, and a great one at that. Herbert W. Weaver (1888-1960) was a pianist and also worked in the printing industry as an electrotyper; he self-published this rag in Covington, Kentucky (just across the river from Cincinnati) at age 19 in 1907. The score was obtained from Weaver's family by Rob Crausaz who posted it as a MIDI on his Ragtime MIDI page, and re-rediscovered by Mitchy in the hopes it gets more attention, as it's a really good Cincinnati rag.

Thank you to Mitchy for finding and sharing the original score, which I have posted here: https://mega.nz/file/2M5QhQZJ#YSuXbJeOidj5liyT5iMghv37xdc1x77UthHeUs-MC4A

This is a reproduction of the original score. Several corrections were made: at measure 36 added a natural to the final left-hand C; in several measures added the missing sharps in the left hand, such as at 36, 59, 82, etc.
