| Steve Standiford & Dave Tucker performing Belly Rub Rag at the Lake Superior Ragtime Festival 2004 |
| "Belly Rub Rag" was written by Steve Standiford in 2004. Dave heard Steve playing it at ragtime festivals and enjoyed its catchy melodies and wonderful rhythms. A new arrangement was made and it is now available for your piano playing pleasure. Catch Steve or Dave playing the song at a ragtime concert near you, and obtain this new sheet music for Belly Rub Rag, as arranged and performed by Dave Tucker. Belly Rub Rag was first recorded on the new CD "Meadow Lark" Oh, and what's the story behind the title? The A section was influenced by the theme to the cartoon "Top Cat". The chord structure of the B section is similar to the song St. Louis Tickle by Theron Bennett. So how do you tickle a cat? You give her a belly rub.
