Last weekend, I picked up a nice piano roll at a local flea market. The title
is "The Fig Leaf Rag." I know that Scott Joplin did a rag with this title,
and the roll does sound very Joplin-esque, but here's what the roll label
says:

RYTHMODIK¶
A10802¶
The Fig Leag Rag (one step for dancing)¶
Wm. R. Lawrence¶
Played by Pete Wendling, assisted by W.E.D.¶
American Piano Co., New York, USA

Is "Wm. R. Lawrence" a pen name for Scott Joplin? Also, while I'm familiar
with Pete Wendling, any clues as to who the mysterious "W.E.D." might be???

Thanks!
