Seek "Those Wedding Bells Shall Not Ring Out"
By Jim Canavan

Can anyone tell me if the 1897 song, "Those Wedding Bells Shall Not
Ring Out" (Rosenfeld & Jonghmansever) made it to 88-note piano roll?

I have the song on a 15.5 inch Regina, and would love to find it for my
piano. It's another of those wonderfully morbid Victorian song such as
"In the Baggage Coach Ahead" -- here's the chorus:

  "Those wedding bells shall not ring out
  She is another's bride!
  I saw her at the altar rail;
  we stood there side by side.
  She cannot take another's hand
  She cannot break the law's command,
  A guilty wife you see her stand --
  those bells shall not ring out!"

Thanks!
