"Alexander's Bagpipe Band"
By Hal Davis

Just as a mater of interest, I have an old 3-tune roll and one of the
tunes on it is Alexander's Bagpipe Band.  As I recall, it is a 1909 roll,
or at least carries that copyright date.  The tune, Alexander's Bagpipe
Band, sounds very familiar as though it may have been renamed Alexander's
Ragtime Band.

On the other hand, it may be that whoever made up the roll label
information made some errors.  Whatever, it is a strange thing to see
and I've never heard of Alexander's Bagpipe Band anywhere else.  Has
anyone out there seen this, too?

Musically yours

Hal Davis
