Very clever and nice composition, Keith. I really love ragtime, too. I didn't hear any "wrong" notes either. Have you every heard Miles Davis' famous quote: "Mistakes? There are none." I was surprised to discover what people don't hear. I made a blooper in a tune that almost caused me to miss some following notes as I said to myself, "S__t!" I asked a couple of very good brass players about it and they had not even heard it. Just keep on keeping on. When I was playing your piece, my wife, a piano player, came running into the room just to listen; She likes it, too.
