[Ads-l] Etymology of ragtime; article by Fred Hoeptner

[Shapiro, Fred]

Hoeptner seems to be unaware of the two earliest known appearances of the term "ragtime," discovered by me: San Francisco Examiner, 5 Jan. 1896, and Kansas City Star, 2 Feb. 1896.

Subject: Etymology of ragtime; article by Fred Hoeptner

For those who might be interested in the etymology of the term

ragtime, here is the link to a recently published item:

https://nam05.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fscholarsmine.mst.edu%2Fartlan_phil_facwork%2F155%2F&data=02%7C01%7Cfred.shapiro%40yale.edu%7C6e75f8022dd64db5be6808d824e386b7%7Cdd8cbebb21394df8b4114e3e87abeb5c%7C0%7C0%7C637299906923518807&sdata=fVp6PN%2F%2Bc09%2BdYDqsPhrXgHFQPCLtIMajpHp5I20R0g%3D&reserved=0



The 48-page article is by Fred Hoeptner, a retired engineer

with a longtime passionate interest in ragtime, and

appears in the latest issue of Comments on Etymology,

which I edit.
