Piano Roll Artist Hi Babit 90th Birthday
By Roland Chisnell

Hi Babit, honorary member of AMICA, turns 90 years old on Friday
the 9th of November.  Hi arranged many 88-note rolls for the Aeolian
company and for QRS in the nineteen-sixties.  Many of his rolls are
still on QRS best sellers list.  Hi started the Play-A-Long series,
and had his own unique arrangements on his music.

Hi is still active in the musical field, doing shows, writing music
and tuning pianos.  Those of you that enjoy your Hi Babit rolls,
please e-mail him a birthday greeting at <hibabit@juno.com>.  I'm
very sure all greetings will be much appreciated.

Roland Chisnell
