selenite and I were in the music room half of the library discussing lighting, I sat down and started playing. He wandered off to get work done after the first one, but Maggie was begging for more from the living room, so I played another. Repeat, until I'd played 5 rolls. Nice little musical workout, that is.
I need to play it more often. I really need to get more rolls for it, too. That would give me more incentive. Plus you learn about neat music that way. I didn't know the musical fun that was Thomas "Fats" Waller until I got this player piano, and several rolls played by him came with it, as well as "Two Hearts in Waltz Time", a roll I love with lyrics in both English and German.
