Learn The Remonetized Rag by Andrew Wrangell on piano with this tutorial! Please enjoy!
On the 16th of February, 2019 Sheet Music Boss was mistakenly demonetized by YouTube’s algorithm. In the following hours of distress, many figures from the YouTube community came together on Twitter to bring this issue to YouTube’s attention. In a few long hours, Sheet Music Boss was restored, with the YouTube representative admitting that it was a mistake in the process. The relief of having our channel returned as it should be was incredible, and to celebrate, we bring you this upbeat ragtime!
The Remonetized Rag is a piece written by Andrew Wrangell, featuring a catchy swing throughout that will leave you smiling like we were when our monetization was restored. You will love playing this piece in a concert or at home! It is appropriate for moderate to advanced level pianists who can reach an octave comfortably.

These ten pieces of music from 1600-1699 are masterpieces of composition. Written by various masters and forefathers of the art, these ten “smash hits” of the 1600s each come with a little interesting history behind them. From Buxtehude’s inspiration he gave to the legendary J. S. Bach, to Allegri, who inspired Mozart to become an ancient version of Napster and copy the whole piece by ear. Each of these pieces of music deserves a full listen, and we encourage you to seek out more recordings of these incredible, inspiring, breathtaking works. You won’t regret it!
If you are looking for a new playlist, maybe this is a great sampler to see what music is out there for you to discover! Works from earlier centuries are fascinating to look at through the eyes of today.

It was first sung by female Soviet industrial school students, as they gave a goodbye to soldiers heading to the battle front of WWII.

Lyrics:
It’s not in the way that you hold me
It’s not in the way you say you care
It’s not in the way you’ve been treating my friends
It’s not in the way that you stayed till the end
It’s not in the way you look or the things that you say that you’ll do
Hold the line, love isn’t always on time, oh oh oh
Hold the line, love isn’t always on time, oh oh oh
It’s not in the words that you told me, girl
It’s not in the way you say you’re mine, ooh
It’s not in the way that you came back to me
It’s not in the way that your love set me free
It’s not in the way you look or the things that you say that you’ll do
Hold the line, love isn’t always on time, oh oh oh
Hold the line, love isn’t always on time, oh oh oh
It’s not in the words that you told me
It’s not in the way you say you’re mine, ooh
It’s not in the way that you came back to me
It’s not in the way that your love set me free
It’s not in the way you look or the things that you say that you’ll do
Hold the line, love isn’t always on time, oh oh oh
Hold the line, love isn’t always on time (Love isn’t always on time)
Hold the line, love isn’t always on time (love isn’t always, love isn’t always on time)
Hold the line, love isn’t always on time
Love isn’t always on time
Love isn’t always on time
Love isn’t always on time, oh oh oh

Lyrics:
5000 light years from Birdland
But I’m still preachin’ the rythym
Long gone uptight years from Birdland
And I’m still teachin’ it with ’em
Years from the land of the Bird
And I am still feelin’ the spirit
5000 light years from Birdland
But I know people can hear it
Bird named it, Bird made it
Bird heard it, then played it
Well stated Birdland
It happened down in Birdland
In the middle of that hub
I remember one jazz club
Where we went to pat feet
Down on 52nd Street
Everybody heard that word
That they named it after Bird
Where the rythym swooped and swirled
The jazz corner of the world
And the cats they gigged in there
Were beyond compare
Birdland, I’m singing Birdland
Birdland, old swingin’ Birdland
Hey man, the music really turns you on
Really? Ya turn me around and turn me on
Down them stairs, lose them cares
Where? Down in Birdland
Total swing, Bop was king there
Down in Birdland
Bird would cook, Max would look
Where? Down in Birdland
Miles came through, trane came too there
Down in Birdland
Basie blew, Blakie too
Where? Down in Birdland
Cannonball played that hall there
Down in Birdland, yeah
There will never be nothin’ such as that
No more, skoo be wah, no more
Down in Birdland, that’s where it was at
I know, ah ah ah ah ah, I know
Back in them days Bop was ridin’ high
Hello, heh heh heh heh heh, goodbye!
How well those cats remember their first Birdland gig
To play in Birdland is an honor we still dig
Yeah, that club was like in another world
Sure enough, yeah baby
All those cats were cookin’ on
People just sat and they were steady lookin’ on
Then Bird, he came and spread the word
Birdland
Yes indeed he did
Yes indeed he did
Yes indeed he did
Yes he did Parker played in Birdland
Yes he really did
Yes indeed he really did told the truth way down in Birdland
Yes indeed he did, Yard bird Parker played in Birdland
Yes indeed he really did, Charlie Parker played in Birdland
Bird named it, Bird made it
Bird heard it, then played it
Well stated Birdland
It happened down in Birdland
Everybody dug that beat
Everybody stomped their feet
Everybody digs be bop
And they’ll never stop
Down them stairs, lose them cares
