Enjoy this snappy, up-tempo ragtime number played by xylophonist Thomas Mills and the Columbia Orchestra.

This piece was an early hit by the well-known composer of popular ragtime and other music, Percy Wenrich (1880-1952).   His later hits included "Rainbow" (1908), "The Red Rose Rag" (1911), and "When You Wore A Tulip and I Wore A Big Red Rose" (1914).
