Description
Ethan Uslan, piano
Beethoven was inspired by God and nature. Scott Joplin, on the other hand, was inspired by two trains crashing together. Yeah baby!
Seriously, in 1896 the MK&T railroad company crashed two trains together as a publicity stunt and 40,000 people came out to see it. Only 39,998 lived to tell the tale.
