LP: "The Steinway Pianola Meets Rocky Horror"
By Jim Canavan

I came across a listing on eBay for a CD titled "The Steinway Pianola
meets Rocky Horror", described as a recording of "a 46-minute piano
solo for your participation and enjoyment" with 17 different songs
from the cult movie.

Does anyone have any idea who cut the rolls that are used for this
recording (apparently originally released on LP in 1980)?  I sure would
love to find a set of the rolls for myself.  I have a great mental
picture of sitting at the piano pumping away, as a roomful of friends
dances the "Time Warp" behind me!

 [ Henderson (http://www.wiscasset.net/artcraft/) and he
 [ produced the rare LP recording in 1980.  See
