Dear MMD -- Can anyone help Sue who's the great granddaughter of Wm.
Christopher O'Hare with information on her g-grandfather's piano roll
arrangements? Sue is not an MMD subscriber, so be sure responses are
also sent to her directly.

Subject: O'Hare piano rolls
I'm looking for any information pertaining to piano rolls arranged
by William Christopher O'Hare. O'Hare was a leading arranger for Tin
Pan Alley music publisher M. Witmark & Sons and composed music of his
own, including rags, pop songs, some waltzes, a mazurka, silent film
pieces, and liturgical music for mixed voices and organ.
In my research on his career this past year, I've come across a
reference to his piano roll arrangements, but the only specific titles
I have located are two from Karl Hoschna's popular 1910 Broadway
musical Madame Sherry: "Selection from Madame Sherry" and "Every Little
Movement."
If you can help me identify any additional O'Hare piano roll
arrangements, I'd really appreciate the information. By the way,
Wm. Christopher O'Hare was my great grandfather.
Thanks for any information you might be able to provide.
Sue (O'Hare) Attalla
