Recommended Ragtime Piano Rolls
By Jim Patrick

-- non-subscriber, please reply to sender and MMDigest --

Good morning.  I have a fair selection of piano rolls for my player
piano, but I am trying to get more ragtime tunes like "Maple Leaf Rag"
and "Twelfth Street Rag".  Many of the rolls I have been looking at on
eBay are by many different piano players.  Would you be so kind as to
recommend a list of good Ragtime tunes with the same type tempo and
sound as the two tunes listed above?

Also, in your opinion, who were the best and most sought after player
piano roll artists of all time?  Some of the rolls I have, have two
names as the players, so I assume there were piano playing pairs, as
well as the solo players.

Thank you.
