Of those, only "Fiddlin' Rag" qualifies. The operative term has to be a 
verb, not a noun. The other titles you mention have specific instruments 
mentioned. For example, instead of "steel" if you had "steelin'," that would 
work. Eddie Lang and Joe Venuti's "Stringing the Blues" works. "Steel Guitar 
Rag" doesn't.
