Roll Collection at University of North Texas
By Don Teach

This is a university that appreciates Ampico!

  "The collection consists of 5431 piano rolls, containing Western
  art music and American popular songs, as well as folk and novelty
  tunes.  A majority of the popular songs are arranged as fox trots;
  many rolls also include lyrics which scroll as the roll progresses."

I am told that they hold concerts featuring the Knabe Ampico B and
piano rolls.
