In this clip, from a 1940's B Western, Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys, on stage to entertain the locals, are introduced by Tex Ritter. The King of Western Swing then launches into a rendition of his classic 'Lone Star Rag.'
"They're good, aren't they?"
Tex Ritter responds, "Best in the West."
Too right, too right.

Scott Joplin was the King of Ragtime, and I thought it was interesting to post a pianola roll of one of his compositions, made at the beginning of the 20th century. This roll, attributed to Joplin, is probably played by a pianist from his entourage (who remained uncredited however).
