Unknown Ragtime Medley Roll Identified
By Gary Watkins

[ Ref. http://www.mmdigest.com/Gallery/Sounds/dwiley_unk.html 

Deane Wiley asked about an unknown medley roll in MMD 12.06.18.
The mystery roll is "Rag Medley No. 23" arranged by George Swift.
The two 1911 tunes are (1) Haunting Rag by Julius Lenzberg and (2)
Jinx Rag by Lucien Porter Gibson.  I have it on 88-note roll 98275.
BluesTone issued a recut in 1991 using Angelus Artistyle 90684 with
Themodist coding.  I don't know when the Keystone edition was issued.
