Seek Duo-Art "Brides and Butterflies Waltzes"
By Marc Goodman
Hello all. One of my favorite Duo-Art rolls is "Brides and Butterflies
Waltzes", played by the charming Genevieve Pitot [Duo-Art 68766]. It
is now falling to bits and too much for me to repair so if anyone has
a good copy I would love it.
My friend and co-founder of the International Piano Library in
Cleveland, Mr. Albert Petrak, interviewed her in New York long ago.
She said to him she was walking by the Aeolian company building in
the 'twenties and someone stepped out and was taken by her beauty and
asked if she could play the piano and she told him yes and they hired
her to make Duo-Art rolls!
