Picture Rolls
By Troy Taylor

The request for information about Frank Adams in today's Digest reminded
me of a question that I have been meaning to ask.

Frank Adams composed a song, "The Dixie Lee Rag", (about the former and
now deceased governor of Washington State) which was cut by QRS in the
early 80s.  We have 2 copies of it, but they are not the same.  The
earlier copy has probably a dozen or so line-drawings of scenes from
around Washington printed on it alongside the words.  The later one has
no pictures.

Does anyone know if there are other rolls out there with pictures printed
on them?  I know about the QRS Christmas rolls, but those are just fancy
paper, not actual pictures.  I would be interested in finding other rolls
with pictures, as they are very entertaining to watch as they scroll
along.

The drawings on the "Dixie Lee Rag" are actually quite good.  There
are scenes of the Seattle waterfront, U of W campus, logging trucks,
ferry-boats, Mt. St.  Helens, etc.  Thanks for any information.

Regards,
