@KawhackitaRag Man, I love your descriptions. I wish I could catch more of this shop talk. I grew up on pianolas, coinolas, orchestrions and band organs. I finally got to meet the owner of "Trudy" and got all kinds of shop talk. It was wonderful when he came through our town!

Oh wow! This is "Harlem Chocolate Babies On Parade" by James P. Johnson, and played by the composer. I had no idea this was also issued as a "G" roll!

Whoever did the drum arrangement and the various pipe, mandolin, etc. registrations did a good job.

Ditto for the job of adapting the 88-note roll to the 48 playing notes of the "G" scale... not an easy task if you want the tune to still sound good! Notice how most of Johnson's left-hand tenths have been changed to octaves.
