Description
Remember the Camellia Rag? I had so much fun writing it that I couldn't hold off any longer on writing another rag! As before, this is more of a classic (but not completely) Joplin-style rag as opposed to the more post-Ragtime jazz (but still very excellent) pieces you're probably used to finding in this category. I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I did creating it. :)
The 'A' melody originally comes from a melody overlay exercise, where I wrote a melody that fit on top of Drakonis' Lickety Split/Caroline's Bear Rag. I tweaked it somewhat, and it now stands on its own here.
For those of you who can't ever sit through a whole MacJams song (you know who you are), please at least hear the middle and end and not just the beginning. ;)
(Twickenham in this case refers to the original name of my hometown, not the city in England that it was named after.)

I was glad you sourced the A section, because it did sound slightly
familiar. I like the transition there, It's a bit different. OK, back to the A
section, key change, nice. You play well. Now the key change again. good.
Nice steady rhythm, not too fast, Right up to the end. Nice big chord. Yes
indeed, a classic rag. I think you have nice, smooth left hand technique
here, which keeps the whole thing moving along nicely without being
rushed.
