Unknown A-roll Plays "Sally of My Dreams"
By Mark Forer
This nice Automatic A-Roll of circa 1928 is being recut but it
doesn't have a name or a number -- the leader was torn from it long
ago. John Motto-Ros, Matt Jaro and myself would like to know the
long missing identity of this roll so that we may at long last fill
in the missing piece of this musical puzzle. Matt Jaro says:
The roll is certainly the same as Automatic G-986. All of the
"G" rolls in that period have the exact same lineup as an "A" roll,
so this is positively the set of songs on that roll. G-986 was
from January 1929, and the corresponding Automatic "A" roll could
be A-1477, A-1478, A-1481 or A-1482.
Automatic G-986 (and A-????)
1. Sally of My Dreams / Fox Trot
2. It Goes Like This (That Funny Melody) / Fox Trot
3. A Night of Memories / Fox Trot
4. Forever / Waltz
5. Then Came the Dawn / Fox Trot
6. I'm Jealous / Fox Trot
7. Right out of Heaven (into My Arms) / Fox Trot
8. Where Is the Song of Songs for Me? / Waltz
9. Two Lips (to Kiss My Cares Away) / Fox Trot
10. Jumping Jack / Fox Trot
John has asked me to throw open the challenge to all MMDers out
there who can help us identify the roll number.
Thanks,
Mark Forer
