If my memory serves me correctly, isn't "Railroad Man" by James P. Johnson?

[Zefrenm]

@JCJasion Johnson cut a roll of the song but the credit still remains with Elmer Schoebel A Hot painist for Chicago Jazz bands in the early twenties and also wrote bugle call rag

[JCJasion]

@Zefrenm - I checked my LP collection and there it was, the very piano roll of which you speak, cut by James P himself. It was on a Biograph reissue.

Still plays nicely. I have one Dual 1218 that works and one that I'm getting ready to revitalized so that it will work. That one is the one I'm proposing to use to load stuff onto the computer. More on that in a few weeks. Right now, I'm in a work frenzy.
