Description
It takes some courage to upload an arrangement of this amazing piece just a day after Swedish ukelele wizard Johannes Alvinder (Cori Ander, the artist formerly known as LillNisse) posted it. But, at Cori Ander's urging, here it is.
When I listened to Johannes' original ukelele solo I pictured a turn-of-the-century city park, with a small group of musicians playing on a bandstand. I tried not to cover up the wonderful ukelele, just add a little to it.
Artwork is a photo of a necklace owned by my Swedish-American grandmother, who listened to this piece when it was first performed live in Highland, Illinois in 1906. Or maybe it's just a picture I found on the Internet.
Ukelele: Johannes Alvinder
Guitar: Tom Atwood
Original version (Coriander Rag): http://www.macjams.com/song/song_profile.php?lid=11834 (For a ukelele thrill ride please listen to this original version. Some of the nuances were lost in my version, covered up by the park band. The original is a classic.)

You have such a nice way of arranging things. This is a great improvement on the already great original. It sounds totally natural and "of a piece". I'm glad Johannes encouraged you to post this.
