At fifteen, Sanford Brunson Campbell (1884-1952) became enchanted
with the new sounds of ragtime and ran away from his rural Kansas
home, hopping a train to Sedalia, Missouri, determined to take
piano lessons from a black musician he had never met. Scott Joplin
nicknamed his white protege ""The Ragtime Kid."" A composer and
entertainer at the dawn of the ragtime era, ""Brun"" was a prime
mover in the ragtime revival of the 1940s and helped establish
Joplin's prominence as an American virtuoso. Campbell's own legacy
was tarnished by his inability to tell a straight story and he was
often dismissed as a liar and a clown. Based on his memoirs,
musical compositions and correspondence with music industry
notables, this first comprehensive biography of Campbell reveals an
engaging storyteller and a devotee wholly dedicated to a musical
genre that had been given up as dead. His firsthand account of life
as an itinerant pianist in the Midwest provides a unique picture of
life a century ago.
