FS: New Recut "Wait A Bit, Susie" by Gershwin
By Joyce Brite

I am pleased to announce the release of a new recut, "Wait A Bit, Susie."
This 88-note roll was recut from Meloto roll No. 31004.  The song was
part of the 1924 musical, "Primrose," with music by George Gershwin and
lyrics by Desmond Carter and Ira Gershwin.

"Primrose" was performed in London during 1924-1925, but did not open
in the United States.  The American premiere did not take place until
1987, and then, only as a concert production:

I would like to thank Michael Swanson for scanning the roll for me, and
I would also like to give Robbie Rhodes a huge thank-you for his superb
roll editing skills!  And a thank-you to Bob Billings for a great
perforating job.

Copies of this roll are $15.00 each and may be purchased through my web
page at  http://www.mmdigest.com/Exchange/rollpage.htm 

Thank you!
