Collector J. B. Roth has contributed some more fine old piano rolls
transcribed to MIDI files by Paul Manganaro. Among them is this
jolly medley of 1911 hit songs, probably played by Herman Avery Wade.
Stephen Kent Goodman suggested playing tempos and helped identify
the songs but we're still missing a few titles, the roll number and
confirmation of the artist. Please help us:
1. Oh, You Beautiful Doll (Nat D. Ayer)
2. ?
3. Red Rose Rag (Percy Wenrich)
4. ? (waltz)
5. That College Rag (Albert von Tilzer)
6. Ragtime Violin (Irving Berlin)
7. ? (waltz)
8. Everybody's Doin' It Now (Irving Berlin)
9. The Gaby Glide (Louis A. Hirsch)
10. I Want a Girl (Harry Von Tilzer)
