Kelly Tester
By Bob Conant

A few years ago, Doug Henderson issued and sold a cassette recording of Ian Whitcomb playing a series of offbeat and some humorous piano numbers. Included was the "Kelly Tester". Perhaps Doug knows something of the history of this musical number and/or test roll.

Ian Whitcomb has done several arrangements for Artcraft Music Rolls (Doug Henderson) including "Chester the Cat".

I, too, would be interested to hear more about this as I always assumed that it was a fabrication of Ian Whitcomb.
