Here is a list of the top 24 rolls that I have found to be most
enjoyable.  The list is not in any particular order.  I have
personally played these on my own piano and I really like them
every time I hear them.

 1. The Band Played On - QRS 7406 - (my all-time favorite)
    played by J. Lawrence Cook as "Pep Doyle"

    Watson was in poor health when the roll was recorded.  See
