A great old tune and it sounds wonderful i have that roll myself always loved how it get snappy keep posting!

@6:00 : I lived in Fairdale , Kentucky , which was a small town outside of Louisville , Kentucky and " THE NOTRE DAME VICTORY MARCH" was my high school 's ( Fairdale High School ) theme song ! 😀

I have fond memories of my first days in high school when listening to this song. They were rather mundane, but hearing this song at the time really contributed to a fresh and mellow atmosphere.

I love that you modeled the title card on the US logo colors. Wonderful roll and your piano sounds great. Thank you!

nice

Any ideas of what year this roll was created? Not 1913, as Max Kortlander hadn't started his career yet, I don't think. Whenever it was made, it is fantastic to have Kortlander's interpretations of classic ragtime.

Wonderful exercise in chromatic and inter modulations - the pianist interprets the feel on a beautiful piano - was not familiar with this roll thank for sharing this 🎉😊

Wonderful! My favourite and the best!

A great song for Gertrude Lawrence and Jack Buchanan in the 1920’s.

Excellent!

Why would one wear a straw hat indoors?

I like Player Pianos!

People with player pianos....what is your favorite roll?

Man those first two strains on March C.K.W are absolute powerhouses! Addicting to hum and follow along with. Awesome post.

I love it! I restored player pianos for over 33 yrears,from 1980 till.(know retired) and many a night with friends and customers ,half drunk, did we play and sing this catchy tune.

This tune has been used in doing an eastern style of square dance. The caller of the square dance I remember best was Duke Miller, a phys ed teacher from New York state, who summered in the Monadnock Region of NH. He called at many summer camps and also at various venues on the week-ends. Great guy!!! NH

Playing again, it just cheers me up.!

Can you advise how to buy one?

Sounds in tune

We had pianola that my grandad gave us since he couldn’t fit it in his front room. He got it from somebody who owed him money I think. We used to play/abuse it for years, a lot of fun. I even took piano lessons for awhile. We moved house quite a bit as a result of my dads job and every time I think he had to give the movers extra money since the thing weighed a ton. After about 4 moves he broke it up and burnt it in the backyard! What a waste.

So swell!!! Love it!! Thanks for posting!!

Wow! I wish I had one of those machines! Those rolls sound SO GREAT. Thanks for posting!

This music sounds like you’re drunk….🤣. Thanks it’s very nice….♥️

I know what I'll do when there Ain't No Jazz (as it's defined today) -- keep listening to ragtime, from Joplin to Brier until my ears fall off ..., and dancing to ragtime, when and where possible, until my feet trip over my ears. Ragtime is one of the few unalloyed pleasures left in the world. Your contribution it is much appreciated.

Very nice.

Dream Theater brought me here

The only song my maternal grandmother, loving called Maunch, from New Orleans, could play on piano! She played only the chorus, and only sang, twice: It takes a long, tall, brown skin gal to make the preacher lay down his good book!

Exquisite...

Congratulations from an spanish pianolist...!

2:39: Well, this is the best part ever!

2:37: Wow! That is some cool soloing!

Wonderful! ❤️

i often play this, you so remind me of my departed dad...He loved the black bottom.. thank you a million times over..God bless!!

Wonderful. Thanks. I like very much the sound of pianolas.

With music like that it's no wonder many a piano player were shot by hungover cowboys.

This one really JUMPS at 1.25 speed!

Beautiful, is there any piano sheet of it? My e-mail [email protected]

From 1915, with Sophie Tucker on the cover. Fantastic performance!

3:39-3:45

Nice!

Fantastic quality!

Thank you for posting- this piece is one of my favorites, though it’s hard to choose just one! Ray Perkins was my grandfather and he was simply brilliant.

Black bottom is the tops !!!

How did you get Lee Sims & Jerome Kern inside this piano at the same time??? Were they both very small???😲 Asking for a friend's piano...😘🎶🎵🎶

Is that the old silver swan rag piano roll that's apparently really rare?

Love Johnson rags! They all have this very standard rag feel.

2 questions that I now have after watching these videos 1 What camera do you use? I like the old VHS look the video has 2 How do you record audio for your videos? The main things I would like to know are the type of mics you use, and how you route the audio into the video. Keep up the amazing work!

Now I know where you get the high-quality audio from! You're a genius to record your piano with that giant mixer board!!!
