With the help of Marshall Jose and Larry Rowland, I've been granted
access to the IAMMP Roll Archive which can be found at

http://pianorollmusic.org/ 
http://pianorollmusic.org/rolldatabase.php 

For those who don't know the recent story of this site, here's a
short recap.

Warren Trachtman created the Archive on his website trachtman.org
(which is now a stupid bitcoin lottery or some other horse hockey).
Other people could contribute to the Archive -- Keystone, Larry Doe,
Warren Trachtman and Michael Swanson were the biggest contributors,
as far as I can tell -- and eventually the number of music roll scans
ramped up to over 16,000.

When Warren died in 2017 his website went defunct from lack of funding
and also the password was lost therefore preventing anyone from paying
off the website hosting bill. I believe Larry Rowland and a few others
reopened the site at it's current URL and restored the database.

Since then, Marshall Jose has been the only person still contributing
to the Archive, and doing a spectacular job as well! I saw 30 or so
scans were posted yesterday and it blew my mind how much work that must
take to scan such a massive amount of rolls.

I eventually asked if I could get an account to access the archive
and also contribute my video scans and so I am now another contributor
to the Archive.

As many of you know, I make video scans which likely aren't any good for
making new recut rolls unless the scan is transcribed into a quantized
MIDI file, which I've done with the help of Insignify Music on YouTube.

The crediting to the scans I've uploaded is quite erratic since I posted
some missing tunes from the Richard Stibbons Collection sent to me by
Clark Ortone (a life changing event for me since I found a _ton_ of
rolls I've been hunting for ages).

The scans that are video scans are credited to myself and my friend
Luca Pastore. I've written our names in alternating orders (Luca
Pastore & Piotr Barcz or Piotr Barcz & Luca Pastore) for this reason:
I put Luca's name first if he did the actual video scan from a video
that I supplied, and my name is first when I made the scan and he
edited the errors that are the inevitable result of the scanning
process.

I hope that my contributions to the IAMMP Archive will be enjoyed by
everyone and I'm hoping to do some more video scanning myself to expand
the Archive, which has been the most complete in the world and is an
absolute treasure trove.

Kind regards and best wishes to everyone who rebuilt the IAMMP Archive:
to Marshall Jose and Larry Rowland for giving me access to the Archive;
to Marshall Jose who showed me how to add the text tags for the site
to process and sort the MIDI files; to my friend Luca who I've gone to
when I needed roll information and who taught me to scan from video and
has taught me so much about player pianos in general; to Spencer Chase
who sent me the scan of "You're The Cream In My Coffee", one of the
rarest rolls that has ever been made; and, of course, to the Mechanical
Music Digest team for making it possible to share valuable information
and bring together mechanical music fans and (if you're like me)
fanatics from all over the world!
