- Please don't work up a juggling act using the Root beer rag now, since its
- been done before at least twice. As a competitions judge, I (and other
- judge's) get an immediate negative reaction from hearing the same music
- repeatedly. Sure, if you want to do contact juggling it's hard to keep from
- ripping off moschen, but surely every juggler can at least have enough
- independent creativity to choose their own music! Of course, if you're
- not a performer and are just jamming, borrow anything you like.

- I personally think many rag time tunes, especially if played slightly faster
- than usual, are interesting to juggle to in part because of all the tempo
- changes. Also, it's easy to juggle to frenetic music, but I'd like to see
- routines based on simpler tunes that can highlight an entire style, rather than
- individual tricks. An example is Jeff Mason's winning routine a few years ago.
- I no longer have the patience to put together routines, but for years i've
- felt that something beautiful could be done to Chicago's Color my World.
