The Michigan Rag
By Rocci Cirone

Hello, MMD team!

I'm hoping some active composer/player person out there will hear my suggestion as I lack the resources (piano, recorder, roll puncher, piano playing talent) to do this myself. I'd like to see someone cut to player piano roll a very good song called "The Michigan Rag". It was an original tune w/lyrics written circa 1955 by Chuck Jones and Michael Maltese for inclusion in their Warner Brother's cartoon "One Froggy Evening". You've probably seen this cartoon at one time or another; it's where this amazing singing frog (Michigan J. Frog) only sings in front of his owner, and never in front of another soul, therefore twarting greedy plans of riches by his owner.

Just a suggestion if anyone's looking for ideas for a future project...
