If anyone has information pertaining to Welte Music in audio format,
please contact both Bill Welte and the MMD.
With this letter, I'm advising him to look for "The Welte-Mignon --
It's Music And Musicians", by Charles Davis Smith and Richard James
Howe, Vestal Press, ISBN 1-879511-17-7. As stated in the cover:
"Complete Catalog of Welte-Mignon Piano Recordings 1905-1932,
Historical Overview of Companies and Individuals, Biographical
Essays on the Recording Artist and Composers".
Good luck Mr. Welte -
Karl Ellison
