new version of Scott Joplin's tells the story of a love that surpasses death. On June 14, 1904, Joplin, the future “King of Ragtime,” married Freddie Alexander, an educated and refined 20-year-old, at her family home in Little Rock. Ten weeks later, she was dead director Rajendra Ramoon Maharaj. “It's the eternal love that when someone passes on, they don't leave you—they stay on and become part of you.”
