'''MINEOLA RAG.''' Old-Time, Country Rag. USA, east Texas. D Major ('A' and 'B' parts) & G Major ('C' part). Standard tuning (fiddle). AABBC (Brody): AA'BB'C (Phillips, Silberberg). Composed and titled by the East Texas Serenaders [http://www.tshaonline.org/handbook/online/articles/xge02] for the town of Mineola, Texas (where the group’s cello player, Patrick Henry Bogan, worked for the Post Office). The Serenaders were a popular string band in the 1920's, who featured a rare cello among the usual lineup of guitar and fiddles. The tune shows the ragtime influence on old-time music, and contains segments borrowed from other popular ragtime pieces. The original key was probably E flat major, as (unusual for old-time string band music) the Serenaders played many tunes in flat keys. The Serenaders recorded the tune in Dallas, Texas, in November, 1930. | '''MINEOLA RAG.''' Old-Time, Country Rag. USA, east Texas. D Major ('A' and 'B' parts) & G Major ('C' part).
