Player Piano Concert
By Roger Waring
What a great subject! So encouraging to see so much response.
If anyone is around the West Somerset Railway (Minehead to Bishops Lydeard) in England this coming Saturday and Sunday (21st anniversary Gala 22/23 March) I should have my 1922 Farrand pump action player on board all trains. Old-fashioned entertainment for the travelling public! If visitors have some rolls with them - even better.
I take note about the need for variety. I must curb my natural instincts to perform only ragtime and stride. Let's see -- how about The Wabash Cannonball, or perhaps The Runaway Train? Do they exist in roll form? Does anyone have any other suggestions? I can't forget the Crush Collision March, can I?
Just rolling along...
