Hi MMD'rs -- You did a great job and helped me so much with information
on obscure musical selections which I asked for about a month ago.
Well, I'm back again to check your knowledge, resources, and generosity
with a few more less-than-well-known musical numbers. With the
following items, I am including any information I have. If you have
something to add to this or have info which contradicts mine, please
let me know. It would also be an addition to the CD liner notes if I
can get some background, or direction in which to look, regarding two
people: piano roll artist and composer Pete Wendling, and piano roll
arranger Herman Avery Wade. The selections:
1. Chestnuts (Raggy arrangements of Stephen Foster tunes) by Percy
Wenrich, 2. London Taps, The, by U. Davis, selections by Stephen
Foster (not that these are obscure, but I'd like to get composition
or publication dates), 3. Annie Laurie, 4. Old Kentucky Home.
Thanks again, Bill Mintz
