    Nice variation. More like ragtime though (a la Scott Joplin) than jazz in my opinion.

    I've dropped him a note, btw, because I don't know how he might feel about the above transcription being posted here.

    Sigh, there's so much you can do with music. I agree with mighty mouse that it sounds like a rag time, but I do love rag time! Thanks for the post!
