Seek "R. K. O. March" Piano Roll
By Bob Hodge

Hello!  Has anyone ever encountered a roll of the "RKO March" -- RKO
as in Radio Keith Orpheum theatre circuit?   I have a cassette transfer
of a 78 rpm disc (vocal with orchestra) of the tune; it's really snappy
and would make a great roll if it was ever done!

Thanks
Bob Hodge
