hey, just a quick question, i'm interested in knowing what the genre of music is that you usually hear people play on pianos in saloons when you're watching cowboy movies... i wanna get into it and listen to some without watching the same scene in tombstone over and over or whatever.... anyone know its name?

Oh, that's called gothic industrial.

Honky tonk
The music industry is a cruel and shallow money trench where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There's also a negative side.

honky tonk is too new and band-oriented.

i mean classical style western, just a guy with a piano jamming to himself.... usually quite plinky plonky (for lack of a better word) and doesnt usually have singing.

I also think it's ragtime.

Incidentally, Ragtime happens to be the name of a really excellent play I once saw.
It's not the side effects of cocaine, so then I'm thinking that it must be love

If you could provide a clip perhaps we could better help you.

Honk-Tonk works. So does ragtime, which is what we call pop songs of the mid-late 1800s (if I have my cowboy timeline right).

Uh... not to sound snotty or anything, Tracer, but honky-tonk doesn't work. I'm in a popular music course and according to my professor honky-tonk wasn't really around until the 1920-1930s.

It may be ragtime. The characteristics of ragtime piano consist of a steady march-like bass rhythm on the left hand and jazzy, syncopated rhythms on the right. Does it sound like this, Septic?
