From eBay: an original paper sign for QRS piano rolls, nicely preserved, just the thing to hang over your piano if you like CLASSIC BLUES or perhaps SNAPPY TODDLE . . . by the master of jazz piano, James Price Johnson. It’s a bit early in the day for SNAPPY TODDLE, but it will be possible after breakfast. Hail James P.!
I’ll bet that the store where this advertisement was displayed had a wonderful section of those race records, too — Paramounts and Gennetts. Where’s my time machine and my largest suitcase?
who doesn’t love a good old down home chant with that snappy toddle feeling? let me know if you find a time machine.
Dear D,
I have found a time machine — it’s my computer. I don’t leave my chair but am transported into other realms with not too much difficulty. Free, easy, and accessible. But you know this already!
