From a box of music that was recently returned to Marshall's 
Band.  The music had been given away by a former director of 
Marshall's Band.

From the web site: http://www.basinstreet.com/Programs/TheCakewalkCD/#Shuffling
One of the earliest cakewalk pieces that were sub-titled "ragtime," "Jasper" is 
also noted as a two-step. This cakewalk contains all the characteristics of 
early cakewalks. Coming out in print the same year as the Mississippi Rag, it is 
usually thought of as one of the first rags published.
