John Farrell left enough A-roll arrangements for another half-dozen
A-rolls, which we will be issuing from time to time.  A-5 is another
great Farrell arrangement that won't disappoint you.  If you've bought
his A-rolls before we don't need to tell you how good his arrangements
are.  Here is the tune list.

John's snappy arrangement of an attractive little-known hot
Jack Pettis number.
