Seek "Speak Low" & "Key Largo" Piano Rolls
By Jere DeBacker

Hello MMD Friends, I have a player piano client who wants two rolls
that she has not been able to find.  Here are the descriptions.
Telephone Nancy Martin at 1-303-794-6356 or email her at

Thanks,

Hi Jere: Thanks again so much for coming out and fixing things on the
piano.  Just love it and so appreciate your helping us find it and
giving us such a great deal.  Here are the two songs on piano rolls that
I'm looking for: "Speak Low" which was done in the 1950s.  I forgot who
the original singer was, but Sammy Davis Jr. did a rendition of it.

The other song, also made famous in the 1950s by Sarah Vaughan, is
called "Key Largo".  It is not the contemporary "Key Largo" song that's
out today by QRS with the number of QRS 10-762.  I tried all those roll
outlets you sent me but they were either out of business or didn't have
them and couldn't refer me to anyone.  (The list in the AMICA Bulletin.)
Thanks so much,
Nancy
