Mr Morath passed away yesterday at age 96. RIP friend. I had the pleasure of meeting and working with him several times over the past decade at various ragtime festivals

Rest in Peace, Max!!

Our family went to a concert of his in Denver when I was probably ten or twelve. We had listened many times to an album of his. Many years later I discovered that the bass guitar (acoustic) player and singer was Felix Pappalardi who I saw some time later with Mountain! Max defined my understanding of ragtime music and the entertainment industry of the early 1900's.

Wonderful legacy. saw him live in NYC decades ago. RIP
