A Grinnel Roll
By Damon Atchison

I found this Grinnell Player piano and about 40 rolls.  One of which
looked like a demo roll for the piano.  It says on the label, (no box)
"Grinnell Medley
       No. 1
'Jigs and Reels'
    Melodee
1. Turkey in the Straw
       2. Arkansas Traveler
3.Devil's Dream
       4. Rory O'Moore
5. Highland Fling
        6. Old Zip Coon
7. Turkey in the Straw

1.25 Arranged by G.C. Walker s.2685"
Has anyone ever seen a roll like this before?  Also I found a roll of
"Alexander's Ragtime Band" Copyright 1912.  It was by QRS in a box that
looked like imitation marble.
