Seek Eubie Blake Piano Rolls or MIDI Files
By John Grant

I'm looking to purchase 88-note rolls or MIDI scans of rolls played by
Eubie Blake, or the same played by others of his compositions. Specific
songs include, but may not be limited to, "All of No Man's Land is Ours",
"Baltimore Todolo (or Todalo)", "Charleston Rag", "Chevy Chase", "Daddy
Won't You Please Come Home", "I'm Just Wild About Harry", "Memories of
You", "My Handy Man Ain't Handy No More", "Oriental Blues", "Poor Katie
Redd", "Rhapsody in Ragtime", "Tricky Fingers", "Troublesome Ivories",
and "You're Lucky to Me".

Rolls or scans of rolls composed or played by other Baltimore artists
are also being sought for a special project. What have you?

 [ I played Eubie Blake's "Baltimore Buzz" when the composer entered
 [ the reception room before his evening concert. He stopped suddenly
 [ and exclaimed, "Hey! What's that tune? What's the name of that song?
 [ I wrote it!" I learned it from the QRS roll (key of D). -- Robbie
