I will be presenting an automatic music seminar at the Ragtime Rally
on Memorial Day, May 26, 2008, at the Scott Joplin House State Historic
Site, 2658A Delmar, St. Louis, Missouri.
I'll be using the Joplin House's restored Kimball player piano and
outstanding roll collection, as well as many of my own. I'll also be
bringing a Pianola 65-note pushup, using my own rolls and some from
the collection of Trebor Tichenor. In addition I'll have a Rolmonica,
and catalogs, advertisements and other graphic materials on display.
The public will be able to play both the Kimball player and the 65-note
Pianola, and to hear the Rolmonica being played, while I answer questions
and offer encouragement. An abbreviated version of this seminar was
done last year and was quite well received, so I am looking forward to
an enthusiastic reception for my expanded version
