I doubt it! Harry Stewart's recordings were usually done with
organ accompaniment, played by a former theatre organist, on
a Hammond organ (the organist's name escapes me now), but they
also usually contained a bit of "recitative" with organ background
that would not have sounded good on a piano roll.
I have almost all of the "Yogi Yorgesson" recordings, and they all
follow the same pattern. The humor is in the lyrics, with their
terrible mis-pronunciations and "Skandahoovian-isms".
