Yes Jerry, but a lot of innocent people got locked up in camps because of hyper-crazy reactions to Pearl Harbour.
Hate the Governments. Not the people.

(I should clarify, that I don't think that it was Jerry was saying, but some might interpret it that way).

Mhm!! Jerry has a point, because it's targeted at the government due to the war situation, but also like Paradroid said, it has side effects about people from Japan.
It's probably better just to not redo those sort of things.

I was refering to the song that was mentioned. I was NOT refering to the internment camps.


I am done with this topic. Have fun with your phonographs.

MisterGramophone, you are terribly wrong. In 1916, Columbia released "N-word Love A Watermelon - Ha! Ha! Ha!". Keeping it on sale until 1925 as a song of "classic slave days".

No, they're not pretty innocent.
That is not ragtime.

Yes, I’m quoting a quote

What is the difference between ragtime and normal jazz?

Trying to verbalize a short answer to your question about jazz versus ragtime is quite difficult.

The attached was contrived by AI, but also gives a fairly succinct answer.

“…Ragtime, developed in the late 19th century, is primarily a solo piano style characterized by syncopated rhythms and a strong left-hand bass line. It is often considered an early form of jazz and a precursor to it. Jazz, emerging in the early 20th century, builds upon ragtime's rhythmic foundation but introduces improvisation, ensemble playing, and a wider range of instrumentation…”

Thanks, and I hope this helps.
