Unknown 10-tune "A" Roll
By Frank Himpsl

Hi Robbie,  In reply to Scotty Greene's request, his roll is likely to
be Clark A-1448 if it is an original issue (dark green nickelodeon roll
paper).  Ed Freyer recut the roll in the 1960s with an incorrect serial
number (#1517) but that roll was not exactly the same as Clark A-1448,
actually being a composite with tunes from other similar A-rolls.

Based on Scotty's tune line-up I'd guess it's the original Clark issue.
The full tune list is below.

All Best,
Frank Himpsl

Clark A-Roll No. 1448 "Old Time Steppin'" (Note: Some copies issued
by Ed Freyer are incorrectly numbered No. 1517.)
