Seek Ampico Roll of "Star Dust"
By Rick Cooley

Hi folks,  When a customer heard the AMPICO roll, "Star Dust," the
Hoagie Carmichael hit, on my Chickering reproducer grand, he immediately
had the piano shipped to California.  This roll is one of the most
expressive I have ever heard in my 40 years of collecting and
restoring.

Thanks to the help of MMD experts our current Ampico "B" is performing
perfectly.  The amount of knowledge available from MMD members is
staggering: most members seem to have "been there, done that before,"
and can provide immediate assistance with even the most complicated
problem.

Again, I need your help.  I need another copy of the Hoagie Ampico roll,
"Star Dust."  Again, it has an incredible range of expression on a well
adjusted instrument.  Any suggestions on finding this roll would be
greatly appreciated.  If you folks don't know where to find the tune,
no one does!

Regards,

Rick and Betty Cooley, Hockessin, Delaware.
