Seek "Just Friends" Played By Phil Ohman 1932
By Piotr Barcz

I have a question for anybody knowledgeable about Welte-Mignon
reproducing rolls.  There is one piano roll that is so rare that
there are only two videos of it on the whole Internet.  The roll
is "Just Friends," played by Phil Ohman.

I actually love this piano roll but I was never able to find it
on eBay or any other site like that.  Does anyone own this roll?
Does anyone have a MIDI file scan of the roll?

Here's John Taber's video of the roll: https://tinyurl.com/y6m9wnpr 

Thanks!

 [ Aeolian-American released "Just Friends (Lovers No More)", played
 [ by Phil Ohman (2/32), as Duo-Art 0854 and also as Welte Y-75564.
 [ Frank Milne probably created the expression coding for both
 [ versions.  Compare with the lively fox trot phono recording
