Dear MMDians,  Many of you may well know that I grew up listening to
B.A.B. music.  And while I have come to appreciate Wurlitzer music
(primarily 150 and 165 scale), I still value B.A.B. above them, but
only due to its scarceness.  (Really, I've grown to love Wurlitzer
too).

If it could bring about a roll cutting project, I would be willing
to pay $50.00 for a B.A.B. 48-key roll (the Wurlitzer 150 counterpart),
$75 for the 66-key, and $100 for the 87-key; something like that.  The
ballpark figure, $80, in general sounds like a healthy steal, and while
I currently have no organ to play these rolls on, the archival value
of the music is important to me.

Now who's that guy in Southern California with the Bruder organ?
I forget his name, but he has borrowed B.A.B. roll #1 from a good
friend of mine, Larry Villano, in the East Coast.  This roll is very
special and has incredible tunes on it, such as 'Dancing Tambourine,'
an amazing piece.  As far as I know, it's the only remaining copy of
the first B.A.B.  66-key roll.  If Ed Openshaw seriously wants to cut
B.A.B. rolls, then maybe Larry Villano will call upon that roll for
the project.

Sorry for rambling everyone, but I just hope this music is preserved
for my generation, so the handful of us can do our best to experience
it to the fullest.  All the best,

Marc Elbasani
