Dill Pickles Rag (1906)
by georgeptingley

Amazingly prolific Kansas composer Charles L. Johnson published this very popular rag in 1906. Johnson, who was musically active from 1899 to his death in 1950, is perhaps best known for his sentimental ballad SWEET AND LOW. Stylistically, his music leans more toward Tin Pan Alley versus Joplin's folk-classical approach.

Dead Woman (by Pablo Neruda)
by Lafayette and ddball

David D Ball has posted a poem by Pablo Neruda : "The Dead Woman - La Muerte". His diction is perfect.
See "Lyrics for details.
I've thought I could adapt music over his spoken words.
I play all instruments.
You can listen there the result...

Thx David
