Born Sanford Brunson Campbell in Oberlin, Kansas, he ran away to Oklahoma City when he was fifteen and met Scott Joplin. For the next decade, he made his living as a traveling pianist in the Midwestern and Southern United States. In 1908, he married and settled down to become a barber.
None of Campbell's compositions were copyrighted or published during his lifetime. However, they became known from recordings he made in the 1940s and early 1950s.
In 1993, Richard Egan, Jr. published Brun Campbell: The Music of "The Ragtime Kid", a collection of transcriptions of Campbell pieces.[1]
Larry Karp, who researched and wrote a biography of Campbell, also made him the subject of The Ragtime Kid and The Ragtime Fool, the first and third of a set of four historical novels he called "Ragtime Mysteries".
