John Farrell left enough A-roll arrangements for another half-dozen
A-rolls, which we will be issuing from time to time.  A-5 is another
great Farrell arrangement that won't disappoint you.  If you've bought
his A-rolls before we don't need to tell you how good his arrangements
are.  Here is the tune list.

A-5

1. Kansas City Kitty
John's rearrangement of Fred Seibert's hottest piano roll.

2. Black Bottom Stomp
Jelly Roll Morton's famous tune given the Farrell treatment.

3. Goin' About
Transcribed from Fats Waller's recording.

4. New Orleans Stomp
Transcription of Don Ewell's recording of this King Oliver tune.

5. Copenhagen
Transcription of Joe "Fingers" Carr's recording.

6. Freshman Hop
John's snappy arrangement of an attractive little-known hot
Jack Pettis number.

7. Never Swat a Fly
Adaptation of one of Vee Lawnhurst's most inventive Welte rolls.

8. Carolina Shout
One of James P. Johnson's most famous pieces arranged by John.

9. Rattlesnake Rag
John's transcription of another Joe "Fingers" Carr recording.
