Seek "Samum" & "Dance of the Icicles" Rolls
By Gordon Ramsey

I am looking for three songs from the 1930s in any music roll format:

- "Samum" by Carl Robrecht (available as a book by Mortier),
- "Dance of the Icicles" by Kennedy Russell, and
- "The Wedding of the Rose" by Leon Jessel.

All are available as recordings from 78 rpm records as played
by orchestras, but I have never seen any of them as a music roll.
These songs were all popular in England in the 1930s and 1940s.
Please respond if you have ever seen these songs in a list or catalog.
