From The
Transfiguration of Blind Joe Death

A great ragtime instrumental
by John Fahey. Play the tune with lots of
"bounce." The tune is really fun to play once you get the hang of=20
the heavily syncopated beat. This is one of my favorite Fahey tunes.
The real trick to this tune
is making the chord changes smoothly.
For example the last note of a measure often anticipates the chord
change in the next measure. This also happens in the middle of
a measure.
Play ABBABBA
