Fats Waller Piano Rolls Played on Pipe Organ
By John Farrell

Julian Dyer said that his LP gives the recording date as 19-21 February
1981; may I repeat that those dates cannot be correct.  The rolls were
collected from and returned to me when I worked in London, as I moved
away from there in the 1970s a 1981 recording date is clearly at
variance with the facts.

It should also be noted that the consummate piano roll arranger J.
Lawrence Cook edited some, if not all of Waller's QRS rolls.  Details
of Cook's involvement are given in my Waller rollography which recently
has been placed in the MMD Archives.
