Seek 58-note Aeolian 20799 "Eton Boating Song"
By Kevin McElhone

I have a customer here in England who went to Eton College.
Aeolian made a 58-note roll of this tune --

  20799 Eton Boating Song - by Karl Kaps

He would like a re-cut copy of this tune and so has asked me to see if
I can borrow an original roll or a MIDI file of the roll for punching
in USA.  Can anyone help please?

We would also like to recut "Jerusalem" by Parry ("And Did Those Feet
in Ancient Time").

Thanks, Kevin McElhone

 [ At http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/And_did_those_feet_in_ancient_time 
 [ "And did those feet in ancient time" is a short poem by William Blake
 [ from the preface to his epic "Milton: a Poem".  The date on the title
 [ page of 1804 for Milton is probably when the plates were begun but
 [ the poem was printed ca. 1808.  Today it is best known as the hymn
 [ 'Jerusalem,' with music written by Sir Hubert Parry in 1916."
