Tempola Music Rolls
By Andy LaTorre

Andy Taylor said of his piano arrangements (000118 MMD):

> I am my worst critic, in my view.  My previous work always came
> with heavy chords, trills, and some of my work would tax a tight
> player (too many notes).  Great for a player party, but far too
> un-natural sounding to be taken very seriously.

I, for one, took Andy seriously!  His arrangements put great joy into
my listening pleasure, and when I rearranged them for a MIDI-controlled
fairground organ, they put great joy into my listeners, young and old.

Andy, your old arrangements are not of high classical pieces from some
remote 17th century era.  Of course they are not to be taken seriously,
but, dang, they sure bounce!
