Description
English: Original listing and sheet music here: https://musescore.com/user/36482158/scores/13311019?from=youtube_share
"Cow-Boy Intermezzo" "A Warm Rag". The only info I have regarding composer Al Verges comes from the video below where he is described as being one of four sons from a musical family in New Orleans who were also into the butchering trade. His brother Joe Verges was a successful composer and pianist. Al went to work for a publishing company named Hakenjos in New Orleans, who published this fine piece in 1904.

More info added, thanks to Musescore's erlingl: Alphonse Verges was born in 1884. Musician, described as an excellent pianist, working as salesman at piano house(s) in New Orleans all his life. He died there 1924, was with wife and one daughter. Brother Joseph Verges lived from 1892 to 1964. Their parents were originally from France.

Original score source was from the Charles Templeton Sheet Music Collection at Mississippi State University at this link: https://scholarsjunction.msstate.edu/cht-sheet-music/2585/ This is a reproduction of the original score.

Thank you to Musescore's dandv for the interesting suggestion.
