Accompaniment Rolls by Alice Smythe Burton Jay
By Paul Johnson
There was a good presentation done at the Cornell "Ghosts In The
Machine" conference held in 2017 that discussed the "Inspiration Rolls"
[album composed by Alice Smythe Jay]. I also believe there may have
been some coverage of them at an event put on by the Academy of Motion
Pictures Arts and Sciences, but my information on that is a little
sketchy.
They do have a photoplayer at the Academy which is a wonderful thing.
I actually tried to get the Cornell presenter and the folks involved
with the Academy event together, but have not evidence that they
contacted one another.
You can email me, Kendra, and I may be able to put you in touch with
some collectors and the presenter at Cornell.
