Headliner Nan Bostick (at right) poses with a few of the dancers that were a new feature at RagFest 2002.

When Pat Aranda and Sonny Leyland got cooking in an off-the-cuff two-piano number, a few people couldn't keep from dancing!

Some of the gang posed with a special guest - Barry Glover, a grandson of the Father of Stride Piano, James P. Johnson. From left to right: Neil Blaze, Barry, Tom Brier, Bob Pinsker and Brad Kay. Actually, two of JPJ's grandsons attended RagFest 2002 - Barry brought along his older brother Steven, too! Barry is the founder of the James P. Johnson Foundation for Music and The Arts , Riverside, CA.
