Who recorded this roll ? It sounds like J. Lawrence Cook...

@tenorbanjo4 I found that this piano roll was performed by Max Kortlander.

@HESOYAM442 Stylistically and harmonically, this actually sounds like a 1940s or later version of this roll. QRS was known to re-use old roll numbers (such as 1160, which would have been originally issued in about 1920) for later "updated" versions of the same tune! This creates great confusion for modern-day historians. It is also known that Max Kortlander stopped arranging sometime in the 1930s (I think), but let J. Lawrence Cook use his name on later rolls. This is probably Cook.
