 Artis Wodehouse, whose digitized Gershwin piano rolls became a
 top CD 1-2 years ago, is giving a concert a Weill Recital Hall
 (at Carnegie Hall) on May 18.  Titled "Keyboard Wizards of the
 Gershwin Era," it will be a program of Gershwin, Confrey,
 Grofe, Bix Beiderbeck, Muriel Pollock, Rube Bloom, Pauline Alpert,
 and Dana Suesse.  This is all from a period when quality popular music
 was still being produced for piano.
     The first four on the list need no introduction.
  Pollock, Bloom, & Alpert were pianist-composers whose
 relative obscurity today is quite undeserved.  Dana Suesse is new to
 me, but given the company, must be someone worthwhile hearing.
    Artis will share the stage with a diskclavier, which will "play"
 some of the selections.
