p_belding.jpgHarry Belding is another of those obscure ragtime composers with St. Louis, Missouri connections. He is known to have published just two rags, Good Gravy Rag (1913) and Apple Sass Rag (1914) and both of which are still recorded even today.
His portrait on the left is taken from He's a Rag Picker (1914) words & music by Irving Berlin, and published by Waterson, Berlin & Snyder Co., New York, USA.
