So this week I tries to stay away from the obvious but I got to thinking about the roots of rock & roll. Not only was ragtime one of the roots  but also the blues. Here's one of rocks greatest singing a song by one of the greatest blues singers of all time. Enjoy!

@cloonfourmegan
Well done Maggie on another great win. The Maple Leaf is the national symbol of Canada and we pick one fantastic Canadian singer KD Lang singing perhaps the best known song of Canadian legend Leonard Cohen. Hallelujah!

Maple Leaf Rag hmmm well let's see. Rag is short for ragtime a syncopated rhythm. Syncopation is used in many musical styles and is used heavily in dance music. For example the cha cha is a syncopated dance. So, for your syncopated wiggling pleasure I gives you my cha cha linky: Oye Como Va by Santana!
