St. Louis, as well as Nashville, was at that time a center of the ragtime genre. JON's latest CD, Those Long Gone Dog Gone Nashville Rags features Nashville Ragtime and one of his own contemporary rags, THE SUNDIAL, dedicated to the largest sundial in the world located in southern Macon County, Tennessee and erected in 1917. In addition to Nashville Ragtime, he features the great music of "TIN PAN ALLEY" and traditional jazz of the early 20th century
