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 jazzou@aol.com.
