Ampico "St. Louis Blues" By John Arpin
By Craig Smith

Hi,  I found it coincidental that Mike Rivamonte is looking for the
Ampico roll of "St. Louis Blues".  Just last night I was reading a book
on trivia and interesting facts.  Did you know that "St. Louis Blues"
is the battle hymn of the Ethiopian Army?

I'm not making this up, folks.  Just picture Mike at the player piano,
mounted on a chariot, pulled by a team of horses, leading troops into
battle, while pumping out the "St. Louis Blues."

Perhaps the Army should buy up all these unwanted players and ship them
to the front.

Regards,
Craig Smith - in upstate New York
