"Boll Weevil Blues", Melodee 4259
By Larry Norman

Hi all,  I am getting my next music roll auction ready and one of the
rolls that I found without a box is Melodee roll number 4259 called
"Boll Weevil Blues", composed by Hess.  I wonder if anyone can tell
me who the pianist is that plays this roll.  It is great and if it has
never been recut, I am thinking of having it done.  Thanks

Musically yours
Larry Norman

 [ It's played by Eubie Blake, the composer is Cliff Hess, and it's
 [ a wonderful big performance!  More information tomorrow.  -- Robbie
