Seek Fats Waller Piano Rolls
By John Farrell

In my bio I touched upon Fats Waller piano rolls.  When Waller was
alive he gave QRS permission to market a series of rolls "played by
Fats Waller" -- in fact they were made by J. Lawrence Cook.

I have done some extensive research on this subject and will happy to
send a copy of my file to any interested MMDer.   My motive isn't
completely altruistic: I am still looking for 10 of the "fake" Waller
rolls to complete my collection -- they must be out there somewhere.

The file is on my PC in Word version 7.0.
