I'm the user behind the request- I'll happily take an mp3 (and be very grateful). BowChickaNeowNeow (talk) 00:20, 26 March 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by BowChickaNeowNeow (talk • contribs) 00:10, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi I don't want to put copyrighted material here so go to my idisk public folder at http://idisk.mac.com/ofindsen-Public for Soda Fountain Rag in a couple of formats. Brooks Kerr is the performer. He knew Ellington and heard him play the short version of Soda Fountain Rag at the Whitney Museum concert. Ellington included a bit of Soda Fountain Rag in his 1929 recording of Oklahoma Stomp, and he is reported to have played it at his 1972 Carnegie Hall concert, a part of the Newport Jazz Festival, but I've never seen a recording of that concert. Kerr worked closely with Sonny Greer and Stanley Dance to create his recording. The Brooks Kerr LP includes numerous other piano renditions of early Ellington, some played well, others not so well. On my iDisk you will also find a copy of "I've Got To Be A Rug Cutter," with Ellington SINGING!!! --Owen (talk) 17:30, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
