Hi there, I found this old music score at home (that I really liked) so I decided to share it with all of you, what do you think?
Enjoy! :)

About Zez Confrey
Edward Elzear "Zez" Confrey (April 3, 1895 – November 22, 1971) was an American composer and performer of novelty piano and jazz music. "My Pet" is one of his earliest works (1921) and it's a great example of "novelty piano", a genre of piano and novelty music that was popular during the 1920s. Here I've tried to give my own interpretation of the piece with some small variations.
A successor to ragtime and an outgrowth of the piano roll music of the 1910s, novelty piano can be considered a pianistic cousin of jazz, which appeared around the same time. Though also often highly syncopated, it is distinct from stride piano, which was developed in New York at about the same time.
