that dirty ragtime music." That was what her parents had said about
ragtime when it was popular!
Yes, wasn't it the music of whorehouses? The piano player would sit there in the
parlor, striding away, while the gentlemen were waiting for appointments or flirting with
the ladies.

I don't mean to be offensive, but that does sound an awful lot like
what parents were saying when Elvis came out. :)
