FS: New Duo-Art and 88 Note Rolls
By Tim Baxter

Dear MMDers:

As you have been supportive of our efforts to date, we wanted to give
you first "dibs" on some of our newest releases, including our first
Duo-Art rolls.  The Duo-Art rolls were painstakingly tested on 5
different Duo-Art instruments -- and they're good!

NEW DUO-ART ROLLS

"Radieuse" - Grand Valse de Concert - L.M. Gottschalk
   (also available on 88 note) - very exciting, written for four hands
   $14.50 (extra long roll)

"Christmas Festival" - dramatic and fun Christmas medley by Boston Pops
    arranger Leroy Anderson - four hand performance
    $14.50 (extra long roll)

"The Ragtime Dance" by Scott Joplin
    $11.50

DUO-ART RECUT

"Witches' Dance (Hexentanz)" by Edward McDowell, played by John Powell
    $11.50

NEW 88 NOTE ROLLS

"Radieuse" - Grand Valse de Concert - Gottschalk
    $14.50 (extra long roll)

"Mule Malk" - James P. Johnson - wonderful, classic, "fast" stride piano
    $11.50

"Snowy Mornin' Blues" - James P. Johnson - slow, bluesy stride - a classic
    $11.50

"Bucktown Buck" - Frank French - Mr. French's tribute to Jelly Roll Morton -
  this was written for two pianos, four hands - this roll's arrangement
  incorporates the four hands onto a single piano!  Rereleased from a
  Bam-Bam roll.
    $11.50

NEW COMPOSITION ON A NEW ROLL!!

Robin Frost's "Bozo Pants" - How often in this day and age is a new song
released FIRST on piano roll??  Robin Frost is a composer of "modern"
ragtime and stride - his work is a wonderful (and tasteful) amalgamation
of American popular music styles.
    $11.50

I wouldn't be in the roll business without the MMD, and without all the
great advice I get from its pages - This month marks our one year
anniversary - thanks to all of you!!
