After three collective tries over the past two years, I am feeling like I've pretty much reached the boundaries of knowledge I've been able to collect on Homer...
Well, now I'm going to have to eat my words. I just found the roll, and it is not an Aeolian roll at all but a Rythmodik roll. RYTHMODIK SONG ROLL J104393 ...
Ha ha, Robert, I just read your post AFTER I made mine! So... I have an A+ copy of the only known roll made by Will Donaldson as solo pianist... hmmm... no I'm...
Are you aware that Denney was at the first St. Louis Ragtime Festival? Mike Montgomery and John Arpin both told me about it... Trebor had an acquaintance who...
I agree, that sculpture is just NOT RIGHT. It doesn't look like the same man. The bas-relief is slightly better, being a [crude] copy of the 1911 photo, but...
I remember Trebor Tichenor telling me a little bit about meeting Denney when I was over at Trebor's house a few months ago. Apparently, he was a nice enough...
... Festival? Mike Montgomery and ... knew him, and got him to ... was so deaf. You'd have ... Duly noted. I owe Trebor a visit in any case. It's an...
Hi guys! This is the first time I've posted here, though I've kept track of these threads for over a year now... I am working on a Denney biography of sorts....
Update. I've about doubled the amount of Donaldson pieces previously posted, including one unusual entry I'm trying to get more details on. Apparently he wrote...
Until I have any further information to add, I have a good grip on Donaldson's basic bio (likely a little more to come) and his somewhat extensive tune list,...
Frank, not E. Clinton in this case. I believe Andrew is also working on him. I spent only a few sessions collecting what little information I could find...
... Turns out the Census record on this was hard to read, and when I googled it using Blake I got enough positive hits to go ahead with that. I will inform...
As printed on millions of Brunswick 78 rpm records in the early 1920s, the name of the company is: The Brunswick-Balke-Collendar Company (WITH the hyphens) ...
... Thanks Bryan. The information I obtained does not indicate whether he was involved in record sales or the pool side of the company - only that he was a ...
... Please note that most of my research leans towards items in print as well as on piano rolls, and I rarely delve into, and am nowhere near an expert on...
Even more context and history. In 150+ years, Brunswick made phonographs for 14 years and records for only 10. They have made billiards for almost their entire...
Whoa, hold on.....Vocalion records were produced by a succession of manufacturers, B-B-C being one of them...I *believe* the label was started by the Aeolian...

I am looking for information about Pete Wendling, the very prolific piano roll artist and composer. I have the basic bio facts and a few snippets of...
I ran across a piece of sheet music from the 1940s called "On The Street of Regrets" with music composed by Pete Wendling some years ago, and was sufficiently...
Bryan, Â That's really interesting because all of what little is out there on Pete says he retired from songwriting in the early 1950s. I would love to see...
I really don't know if its online...I still have Bob's note, I suspect, finding it'd be another matter entirely. I've moved several times since then, and...
Chris, You may have already seen my bio of Wendling at http://www.pianola.co.nz/artists/wendling.html . However, it contains very little information about his...

I just uploaded a recording of James P. Johnson playing Maple Leaf Rag at a Town Hall concert in 1946. It is a great recording that I think many here will...
Gosh. Are you sure this is JPJ? It sounds more like Lucky Roberts to me. A bit like the Lucky Roberts "Happy Go Lucky" LP, where he strides up pop songs on a...
