12th St Rag

Template:Infobox OM "12th St Rag" was composed by Sage Guyton and Jeremy Wakefield (and Nicolas Carr in "12th Street Rag w_Bass"). Alongside "12th St Rag Slo," it is a ukulele and steel guitar arrangement of "Twelfth Street Rag," which was originally composed by Euday L. Bowman in 1914. It usually plays when something silly happens.

There is a shortened version of this track with additional bass by Nicolas Carr named "12th Street Rag w_Bass". Starting with "Slide Whistle Stooges," it mostly replaced the original version without the bass.

There are two alternate versions of this track: "12th St Rag (fast w•washboard)" with minimal difference and "12th St Rag (fast w•out washboard)" without the washboard in the background.

Alternate titles: "12st Rag w/ Bass," "12th Rag," "12th St. Rag," "12th St. Rag w/ Bass," "12th Street Rag," "12th Street Rag Revisited," "12th Street Rag w/ Bass," "12th St Rag w/ Bass," "12th. St Rag," "12th. St. Rag," "12th.St. Rag," "12th.St.Rag."
