I heard it as a segue between NPR pieces... anyone know who may have recorded that? (Yes, I am refereing to Joplin's Rag)
Thanks!

If it was a trio with clarinet and guitar,
then it was probably the 'O Trio' from Brasil
The original piano sheet music of The Entertainer has a dedication to "James Brown and his Mandolin Club". (not THAT James Brown -- obviously)
I've often wondered...
Skippy, npr usually lists the music played between and during stories on their website. I bet you could find it at npr.org
If you go to virtualsheetmusic.com and search by violin scores you can get a free pdf of the Entertainer arranged for solo violin. It is a fun tune to play. Or, let me know and I can email it to you, if you want.

Hello,
Yes, "Dedicated to James Brown and his Mandolin Club", that`s the inscription on the sheet music that I have. I was also wondering about that and our well respected friend Eugene told me, that such clubs were not rare at the time when Joplin has written his compositions. We recorded the piece 5 years ago.
Good luck!
As it happens, there is a mandolin ensemble arrangement of the tune in the tunes folder of the group I'm playing with. The repertoire is inherited from its predecessor group, a larger mandolin orchestra in the 1950s and 1960s. It works just fine on mandolin.
