FS: Stoddard-Ampico Roll Recuts Now Available
By Sammy Jones

Fellow Ampico lovers: I now have the list of titles of early
Stoddard-Ampico rolls that are becoming available as a set of recuts
by Tim Baxter of Meliora Music Rolls in Atlanta.  These new rolls
will be made from scans provided by Michael Swanson.  They have not
been available as recuts in many years, and the original rolls are
fairly elusive and scarce (and try playing and rewinding an original
one if you can find it!).

This is a fantastic opportunity to hear the Ampico rolls that our
great- (and in some cases great-great-) grandparents were playing
on their pianos more than 100 years ago.  Get them while the punches
are hot!

The full set of 10 rolls will cost $250.00, including postage via
USPS Media Mail to the 48 contiguous United States.  That comes to
$25.00 per roll, including the shipping.  Payment will be made via
PayPal (friends and family, please), and in two installments: $150
to reserve your set, and the remaining $100 to be paid when the rolls
are punched, labeled, and ready for shipping.

Reserve your set by sending me an email to me and sending the $150
deposit via PayPal to that same email address:

Here is the list of titles that Tim will be recutting (the attached
photo is from an earlier run of these same rolls):

2149C Too Much Mustard - p.b. George Fairman
2203B Hyacinth Rag - George Botsford, asst. by Albert Gumble
2415B You're a Great Big Blue-Eyed Baby - Albert Gumble
2641C That Spanish Rag - Seymour Furth
2646C International Rag - Malvin M. Franklin
2684C Take Me to that Swanee Shore - Botsford and Gumble
27621A Down in Bom-Bombay - Pete Wendling
2784B On the Mississippi - Botsford and Gumble
2869C Do the Funny Fox Trot - Mabel Wayne
3506D At Uncle Tom's Cabin Door - unknown

We will need a minimum of four orders to get this project started.
Get your orders in by Tuesday, August 25th (that's in two weeks), to
reserve your set.  Thanks for your interest.  If this project is a hit,
we can probably organize further sets of early Ampico rolls.
