Seek Manuscripts of Jimmy Blythe Piano Rolls
By Erik York

-- non-subscriber, please reply to sender and MMD --

Hello MMD'ers,  I was wondering and sincerely hoping someone has
transferred some of Jimmy Blythe's piano rolls and nickelodeon rolls
into sheet music format?  I am willing to pay shipping for a copy of
a song, as well as just getting a PDF.  Either way, I'm really eager 
to learn and examine his playing style.  I am really looking for his
"Fast Stuff Blues" and "Steppin' on the Gas".  Hope someone can help.

Also, I heard a Clark A-roll in a store playing several songs, but
it's version of "When the Saint's Go Marching In" was my favorite.
Other songs on the roll were "Yes! We Have no Bananas", "Turkey in
the Straw", "Beer Barrel Polka", etc.  The roll of "When the Saints
..." sounded close to the J. Lawrence Cook roll on QRS.  So if anyone
can tell me if the QRS roll is the same (3554)?  Maybe someone has
a copy of this they want to sell.  Doesn't have to be in perfect
condition.

Wishing all a Merry Christmas and New Year,
Erik York
