Frank Milne Piano Roll Arrangements
By Piotr Barcz

[ Ref. Luca Pastore in 220702 and 220703 MMDs ]

Luca Pastore mentioned how some of the rolls Milne arranged were
based from scores and actual recordings. A perfect example of this
is the medley roll, "Blue Hawaii" and "Sweet Is The Word For You,"
in which Milne practically copied Bing Crosby's recording of both.

Here's the piano roll [Ampico 216083]:

The roll seems to have never been filmed on YouTube; if anyone has 
a copy then I highly recommend making a video.
