Unknown Piano Roll JB004 "Reveille"
By Robbie Rhodes

Collector "JB" writes about unknown roll JB004:

  This unknown song is by an unknown roll company.  In my head, I call
  this tune "Ragtime Get-up".  This roll was probably manufactured around
  1917-18, because "Reveille" is featured in the arrangement of the tune.
  The ink for the stencil is purple.  It says "Presto" at the beginning
  of the roll (which I realize means "peppy").  The Tempo is given as
  80-90.  Stenciled purple dots run the entire length of the roll, to
  indicate expression.  This is not a Pianostyle roll, but the holes look
  like Pianostyle manufacture.  There are no markings at the end of the
  roll.
