Here comes a marvelous Christmas gift for any steamboat enthusiast and a must-have collectors item: Jazzou Jones' "A Ragtime Trilogy" ragtime music book for piano. It contains three pieces of music specifically steamboat oriented:
- High Water
- Ragtime Mary Greene - A Ghostly Two-Step
- Paddlewheel Rag.
All pieces are, as we all know, inspired by Jazzou's adventures on the Delta Queen, and two of the three pieces received their premiere public performances on the Delta Queen.
"A Ragtime Trilogy" also is a very nice looking book, with the cover shot of the Delta Queen paddlewheel and rainbow, taken by John Mullen.
The books are going for $ 20.00 which includes shipping within the US. Checks should be sent to High Water Music, P.O. Box 1097, Bangor, ME 04402-1097, USA. Or contact Jazzou via email at [email protected].

Jazzou just e-mailed me that $1 from the purchase of each Ragtime Trilogy book will be donated to the production costs for Jon Tschiggfrie's Save the Delta Queen video.
Also, Jazzou is happy to autograph your copy if desired. Please contact Jazzou via email for this.

Jazzou,
Thanks so very much for your generous support in getting copies of Jonathan's Save The Delta Queen DVD out to our Congress people, media sites along the inland rivers, and all who are interested in preserving overnight steamboating on this historic sternwheeler. And to think that in addition to getting your marvelous "Ragtime Trilogy", part of the proceeds go to the campaign efforts as well. What a win-win situation! Again, our sincere thanks for your kindness and generosity in support of our common cause. Now, let's get some holiday shopping done, and help SAVE THE DELTA QUEEN at the same time!

David,
You are welcome - I am happy to help in this small way! Jon's Save the Delta Queen video is superb and needs to get out there to all the people you mention. Everyone should do what they can to support this campaign, and Jon has gone above and beyond. Excellent work!
I will also say that from any sales of any of my piano CDs between now and Christmas, I will also dedicate $1 each. Both Ragtime and "peaceful piano music" CDs are available through my website www.thomasjonespiano.com. (The Ragtime ones are listed after the religious ones on the Purchase CDs page.) To anyone who makes a purchase, just indicate "Save the Delta Queen" and I'll know what to do. For anyone hesitant to use PayPal, just email me at [email protected].
