In his piece about new Mastertouch roll releases Robert Perry said:
"A few months back they released a new version of 'Maple Leaf Rag'
played by Australian stride pianist John Gill -- an interesting
version, complete with a biography of Gill stamped along the roll."

In fact, John Gill is an Englishman who now resides in Australia.
