I have purchased a number of the recordings of the Paragon Ragtime Orchestra and I am on its email list.

The Paragon Ragtime Orchestra is "the world’s only year-round, professional ensemble re-creating “America’s Original Music” – the syncopated sounds of early musical theater, silent cinema, and vintage dance."

Sounds like a unique experience.

Rick Benjamin is a low-key railfan, having been a member of the Pine Creek RR in New Jersey in his youth. He enjoys and appreciates steam in particular.

Gee, is this going to be considered beneath their dignity, too ? How about if they allow jitterbugging on the roundhouse floor ?
