Reviewing a song written back in 2011. "The Colonial Rag" stands out as a song finished but listening to the recording there are some problems. Taking a closer look at the typed sheet music I noticed there were several mistakes. I spent and hour writing in the corrections then an hour typing the corrections into Print Music.
Now it appears that I have better version of the song on paper and now I am playing through it to prepare for a recording session.
Other music I've been working through is the entire Walt Disney "Alice in Wonderland" (1951) songbook. June "Alice in Wonderland", "In A World of My Own", "All in the Golden Afternoon", "Very Good Advice"and "AEIOU" (The Caterpillar Song). Most of the songs are written by Sammy Fain (music) and Bob Hilliard (lyrics). My teacher Eric Abrahamson like the piano arrangements by . . . someone in the 70's.

"Disneyland Railroad Rag" - Stefani/Abrahamson
In previous books I was spent too much time redrawing exact Disney animation scenes to get a good header. These now ones are just clip art found on the internet. These are some logos I am adding to my new book of "Eric Stefani Ragtime Compositions" (2015).
1) Here is the first one using the blue print from the train logo
2) This one works a little different without the train but the Disneyland Train Station.
After taking a break and coming back I still wasn't satisfied so I looked into some other more "Authentic Train" fonts.
3) This on called "Pointedly Mad" was just what I was looking for. To me it has a "Authentic Circus and Train" feel. Actually this looks like "Song of the South" font titled "Pointedly Mad".
4) Trying to match the Disneyland logo is IMPOSSIBLE so I thought I would try something like this that go along with the artwork . . .
5) This on I tried to match the Disneyland Logo
6) This one work well because the thin type has good contrast . . . I like this old time font "Railroad Rag" while the logo and artwork are bookend.
