Shortly after getting married in 2020, Steuart and Belinda put together Ragtime Razzle - to showcase their love and enjoyment of Ragtime,  Jazz and light classical music.

Although both trained as classical musicians, they found they both really enjoyed playing Ragtime as piano duets (after they first met, their second date was spent playing piano duets!). Steuart arranges rags by Scott Joplin, James Scott, Joseph Lamb, May Aufderheide and others for piano four hands.

The duo recently attended the Scott Joplin Ragtime Festival in Sedalia, MO and even got a chance to perform out there (see sidebar)

Belinda's talents extend to singing (she really likes singing "oldies" from the 1920's, 30's, and 40's) as well as playing the flute (she was a former US Marine and played in the US Marine Band). Steuart enjoys arranging popular songs as well as Jazz classics for flute and piano.

They also enjoy acting it up in period costumes and pepper their performances with amusing anecdotes and a very obvious expression of enjoyment in sharing their music with any audience.
