Comments: This was possibly named after Teddy Roosevelt's statement about enjoying "the strenuous life". There are some schools of thought that this was to be part of Joplin's opera "A Guest Of Honor" which was lost. Reportedly, "A Guest Of Honor" signified Booker T. Washington's visit to the White House.
