Cherry Leaf Rag by El Cota (1909) by EL COTA (1909)

Original listing and sheet music here: Here’s a nice rag from “El Cota“, who was born in Wales and whose real name was William Elmer Coates. He was a successful xylophone player and vaudevillian who performed in England and the United States. This is his only known rag. Published by Victor Kremer in Chicago and New York in 1909. (Thank you to JohnJ1995 for the El Cota info). Original score source was from the Charles Templeton Sheet Music Collection at Mississippi State University at this link: This is a reproduction of the original score. I’ve added 15 bars of the B strain repeated an octave higher in place of the repeat bar for more accurate playback. My YouTube channel is here: @compukats/featured #ragtime #ragtimepiano
