Just heard a wonderful, fun march tune on the local public radio station:
"Gate City March" by A. F. Welden (sp?). Apparently it was written for
the same festival in Atlanta that Sousa wrote "King Cotton."  It's one of
those fun medley pieces -- at one point, the band is playing "Dixie" and
"Swannee River" simultaneously!  Does anyone know if it's ever made an
appearance on piano roll?  I can imagine it sounding great in one of
those heavily-orchestrated versions.

P.S.: Next Sunday, 28 Sept., is the Phonograph (and mechanical music)
Show in Bound Brook NJ.  Anyone else from here going?  Maybe we should
put our e-mail addresses on our badges? <G>
