Marc Cohn wrote about his cousin, Harry Jentes:

Better add "Blooey Blues" to your list, Mark. I've a recording of it
on a CD compilation titled "Black and White Ragtime Vol. 1", issued
(and currently still in print) by Document Records in the UK, catalogue
no. DOCD-5596.
On the basis of this recording, I'll say you've got a real treat in
store if you manage to find any Jentes rolls. Please let the MMD know
about any that you manage to track down.
