Keek-Es-Man-Dah is as a so-called Dutch rag an unusual contribution to the ragtime genre. It is a delightful medley of four folk tunes namely:
Ach, wie ist's möglich,
Lieber Augustin,
Schnitzelbank and the amusing
Der Hut hat'n Dahler kost.
The cover of the original sheet music shows a be-clogged Dutch girl and boy coyly kissing before an idyllic rural background, replete with canal, sailing vessels and the obligatory windmill. All quite in keeping with the composition's melodies. It is quite an easy fun-piece which even beginners will find not too demanding.
Keek-Es-Man-Dah was published by
