File:Rag Tags Rag by Harry Thomas (1909).opus

Harry Thomas (1890-1941) was born Reginald Thomas Broughton in Bristol, England and immigrated to Canada at age 19, settling in Montreal. He was an excellent self-taught pianist and worked with established Montreal pianist-composer Willie Eckstein. In 1916 he went to Chicago and New York to cut piano rolls and make recordings, including Eckstein's "Delirious Rag". This appears to be his only published rag, which was published by Delmar Music in Montreal in 1909.

Original score source was from Baylor University Frances G. Spencer Collection of American Popular Music at this link: https://digitalcollections-baylor.quartexcollections.com/Documents/Detail/rag-tags-rag/2216045

This is a reproduction of the original score. Some of the grace notes in the original are shown as the last notes in the previous measure. Due to the limitations of the Musescore software it's not always possible to successfully reproduce that pattern (especially at measures such as 8, there's no room to place all the notes in the same space), so I've placed all grace notes in the same measure as the note they modify, which is how grace notes are normally displayed as a general rule.

Thank you to Mitchy for this interesting suggestion.
