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.
