Seek Duo-Art Organ Rolls Played by Harold Gleason
By Tom Gleason

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

I am wondering if anyone has the following Aeolian residence
organ rolls and if so, do they have an audio recording of them
or are willing to make one?

My grandfather, Harold Gleason, recorded five rolls total.
I have one, and I just ordered a CD that has another recorded,
which I found in the UK, that readers here have mentioned.
I am looking for these last three:

 3393 May Night (Selim Palmgren)
 3417 Träume (Dreams) (Richard Wagner)
 3419 Ariel (Joseph Bonnet)

While my grandfather was a prolific performer early in his
career, we have but two recordings now of his work and I would
love to add to our archives.

Thank you so much for your time,
Tom Gleason
