MMD followers might enjoy watching this YouTube video and hearing
Muriel Pollock perform Dancing The Jelly Roll, "live" at the Morris
Museum just a couple weeks ago.
Noted ragtime pianist Muriel Pollock recorded this 1914 Herman Paley
composition for the M. Welte & Sons who produced this roll through
their Poughkeepsie, New York, factory circa 1916.
Guinness Collection Curator Michele Marinelli and myself installed
this 1907 Welte-Mignon Kabinett (keyboard-less) piano in the
permanent Guinness Gallery just prior to our closing due to Covid-19.
Now re-opened, the museum is once again happy to share this fabulous
collection with visitors.

We understand this to be a fairly rare Welte selection, so please enjoy
and share with your friends.
Stay well,
