Broadway "By the Mississippi" by Len Luscombe
By Steve Rattle

G'day MMD'ers,  Your help required, please.  I'm currently writing
the history and catalog of Broadway piano rolls manufactured in
Fitzroy, Victoria, Australia.  They were manufactured by Len Luscombe
under the Anglo-American company.

After chasing details of 3500 rolls, there is one title that I am
unable to find any details on.  The roll is titled "By the Mississippi"
from 1924.  This may be only part of its title but details of composer
and lyricist are required.  Perhaps it appears on another label that
one of your contributors is familiar with.  Any assistance appreciated!

Thanks and regards,

Steve Rattle
