Hi All, Stay in this business long enough and someone might ask
_you_ to find a music roll titled "Baby Bumblebee". I did some
research at Google and downloaded a music file and the lyrics.
I couldn't find a copyright, composer, or any information about when
the song was created. However, I was surprised to find so many
references to the tune.
I don't think it was ever made into a music roll. It's not in the
Billings Rollography. But, since I was asked to find out if it ever
was made into a roll, I'm doing just that. Any leads will be greatly
appreciated.
Musically,
