From wikipedia:

A friend of Euday Bowman known as "Raggedy Ed" declared his intention to open a pawn shop on 12th Street in Kansas City while the two were walking along it. Bowman is rumored to have said "If you get rich on those three balls, I'll write a piece on three notes to make myself rich."

It was more than 15 years after Bowman composed the song before he actually wrote the music down in manuscript form. He returned to Texas briefly and tried to sell the piece to a company in Dallas; but he only had an offer of ten dollars for it and was told it really was not worth publishing. Returning to Kansas City, he sold it to Jenkins Music Company in 1913. The Jenkins company felt Bowman's arrangement was far too difficult however, hiring C. E. Wheeler to simplify it. With a big advertising push "12th Street Rag" began to sell better. In 1919, James S. Sumner added lyrics. The song was popular with early Kansas City bands and became a hit after Bennie Moten recorded it for RCA Victor in 1927, the same year Louis Armstrong and His Hot Seven recorded it.

Curious that don't recall ever being aware of Don Bestor before. Perhaps since his career was mostly radio and less releasing recordings.

Your comment about the piano "tuning" earlier has set me to try to remember a rag influence pop music style / fad of banjo and raggy piano and pizza parlors. Tgere was even a tv program in the 60s by a husband (piano) and wife (banjo and vocals) team.

Rinky tink is sometimes used to describe the piano sound.
Hot trombone on this Lyman recording!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:05am

a yes, but also taking the floating tuning in consideration the transistion between brass section and piano hit me in the face a little.

Found the start of my thread, the tv show Mickey Finn's
en.wikipedia.org...

the popular mix of rag and dixieland and swing based pop of the 50s and 60s seems to have not been included in considerations of history of ragtime.

Probably considered Kitschy low brow entertainment by keepers of jazz and ragtime flame but 1966 on tv presenting old time tunes caught my attention.

Would 'rinky tink' equal 'honky tonk'?

I should have listened more closely to that Willie 'the Lion' Smith that just played. Thank WFMU for the archives.

Some references overlap between honky tonk and rinky tink (or tick).
