Pratt was part of the Indianapolis group of young composer friends who contributed just a few but still significant pieces into the ragtime collective. He was born in New Salem, Rush County, Indiana (not in Salem, which is in a different part of the state), to grocer and Kentucky native James Garthan Pratt and his Indiana born wife Kate D. Johnson. Paul received the normal musical training often given to young people of the time, but his natural musical abilities took him beyond many of his peers in terms of both knowledge and desire. In his teens he also learned harmony and theory, which helped him to transcribe and arrange music, and ultimately get his break. This break came in 1908 when his friend Cecil Duane Crabb, an artist and friend of composer May Aufderheide, had Paul arrange her 'Dusty Rag' for independent publication by Crabb, while all were still in their teens. Because of May's determination to have her work in print, her father, John Henry Aufderheide, admired the efforts of the trio to the point where he started J.H. Aufderheide & Company just to publish their works. Paul may have worked with Crabb in an artistic capacity as well, since the 1907 to 1909 Indianapolis city directories showed him as a young draftsman. While working with another Indianapolis friend, J. Will Callahan, Pratt had some success with a few novelty songs. One of their selections that still rings true a century later extolled the necessary evils and fiscal non-virtues of Gasoline. His musical skills brought him back to Chicago after a year or so, where he supplemented his musical arranging and playing income by arranging piano rolls for the U.S. Music Company. Pratt was at one point connected with singer Beatrice Harcourt, who in turn had been associated with the Aufderheide company. However, in 1913 he married Mary Marguerite Williams in Chicago.hot house rag cover The couple visited Indianapolis for the holiday season in late 1913, as noted in the Indianapolis Star. Paul started dividing his time between the two cities the following year. He and Callahan made the Star again with a story on their song 'As the Day Fades Away I Want You'. "The song, which is tuneful and of fine tempo, is being sung in public for the first time at the Orpheum Theater this week by Bob Sherwood and a trio." Pratt's 1917 draft card shows him once again in Chicago working for the Jerome H. Remick company, likely as an arranger and/or demonstrator. Still, some of his rags from the 1910s, including the clever 'Spring-Time Rag' and iconic 'Hot House Rag', were published by John Stark who had left New York by this time but was still working out of St. Louis. Others were published as piano rolls only and never saw printing on paper. A large number of popular pieces were arranged by Pratt for U.S. Music, many of them uncredited, including some of his own works. A series of rolls from 1917 were "hand-played" by "Brown and Pratt" or "Pratt and Winters," including Yock-a-Hilo Town, Indianola and Pratt's own 'Kissable Child' and 'Foxie Feet'. Paul lost his second wife, Mary, as a result of the Spanish Flu pandemic on December 17, 1918. Unfortunately Paul died of a coronary at the age of 58. The author died in 1948, so this work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 75 years or fewer.
