Player Piano 'A' Rolls for Ice Cream Parlor
By Craig Smith

Hello,  I saw Mary Ellen Dutton's request for a replacement for the
ragtime roll on the piano in their soda fountain.  I wonder if anyone
else had the same reaction I did.  I wonder how her employees stand
listening to the same tunes over and over again, seven days a week.
Much as I love this happy music, I think I'd learn to hate it if
subjected to the same thing continuously.

How about getting 7 rolls so there is some variety.  Better yet, change
the roll a couple times a day.  And they would last 7 times as long
providing that they are careful when changing them.  Lastly, I'd like
to know who made the roll that lasted this long under those conditions!

Regards
Craig Smith
