Recording of Street Piano & Signor "Grinderino"

Dear collectors,  While cataloging the family's old 78 rpm records
I came across Victor 17884A & B, performed by 'Signor "Grinderino",
street piano'.  The tunes were "The Georgia Grind" and "It's Tulip Time
In Holland".

As I was not set up right now to play 78's I had to put off listening
to this record.  However, I just found it at a web site featuring tons
of 78's available on cassette and each one has a RealAudio sample to go
with it!

'Signor "Grinderino"' can be found at www.besmark.com in the 1913-1919
section, record #2.

Happy listening.

Bill Kenney

 [ reiterating piano, in excellent state.  -- Robbie
