Certainly play some notable classic rolls on good instruments, but don't
forget that there were some really terrific popular rolls made for the
reproducers -- include them as examples of writing for player piano.

As well, include some *recent* numbers on pumper players.   There are
some terrific rolls being produced and it would be a real eye-opener for
any audience to hear rolls cut by people still alive.
