Andy,  Feel like a challenge? I have a few old tunes recorded by Harry
Thomas in the early 1920's, and I'd just *love* to hear one of them
transformed into a piano roll: "My Blackbirds are Bluebirds now".  Is
this old nugget familiar to you?

Thomas also made a particularly fine recording of "1915 Rag" in 1913,
which was re-released on a Folkways LP many years back.  At least one
roll (and a recut) was issued for "1915", dunno about "Blackbirds".
