J. Lawrence Cook & Ferd 'Jelly Roll' Morton
By Mike Meddings

Just a note to let you know that the site has been updated.   On
the J. Lawrence Cook page, Alan Wallace sends details of another
interesting music folio of ten George M. Cohan hits, styled in Player
Piano arrangements.  Laurence Rosenthal, in the foreword, presents a
tribute to the skill of J. Lawrence Cook and his command in the field
of music roll arranging.

On the Jelly Roll Morton page, an excellent write-up on the Webster
Hotel from James Dapogny, including three photographs.  We now have
a photograph of the inside of The Alhambra Theater, Milwaukee, where
Morton opened for a M.C.A engagement on 20th August 1927.

Musically yours

Mike Meddings
