Artrio-Angelus Rolls Played By Eubie Blake
By Gary Watkins

Thanks to Robbie Rhodes for providing a link to YouTube to hear
Eubie Blake play "Strut Miss Lizzie".  Although not credited to
a piano roll, this is indeed Mel-O-Dee 4241.

Personally, this is not my favorite piano roll version of "Strut
Miss Lizzie".  Rather, it is QRS 1364 played by Pete Wending with
double-time breaks.  A performance is available on YouTube, but it is
played a bit fast to truly enjoy the tempo changes.  Here is the link:
