HELP somebody!

Dear CBG friends, I' a musician from the far Europe, Hungary, lute, guitar and cigar box guitar player, and I'm looking for a tune that I hope you can help me to find. This is a rag tune, I can't remember its title, nor the composer's name, my uncle, who was a piano player played it in a Ragtime Band on stage 35 years before.

CBG paper model downloadable

Well, my dear friends! I made a paper model CBG, if you want to cut out and assemble a small paper CBG to hang it on the xmas tree (well, it' too late now, but maybe next time), or hang anywhere, put it on the corner of the desk, give it to some teddy bear's paw, or anything, download it. http://www.tabulatura.hu/blasius/cbg_papermodel-1.pdf

As a novice...

Thank you, very much. It was unfamiliar a bit to me posting and blogging, the web surface have played a trick on me, and that's why I sent a short bio like this. The documentation is NOT that "tabu" -address, of course.
