Seek "Wizard Of Oz" Piano Rolls
By Harris Yussman

-- forwarded message, please reply to sender and MMD --

Greetings,  My wife and I are Oz collectors and we've heard that
there is a player piano roll that has the music of a play from 1913.
It is called "The Tik-Tok Man of Oz".  I recently saw the sheet music
on eBay of "My Wonderful Dream Girl" from the 1913 show "The Tik-Tok
Man of Oz".

If anyone knows who made this roll or knows where I can find one
it would be a great addition to our collection.   Thanks

Harris & Andrea Yussman
