Kisses (The Sweetest of Them All) - 1918 | Sullivan & Cowan | Pb. Billy Warren | Player piano roll

A 1918 World War I love song. I personally dislike this arrangement because it made it hard for the pianolist to control and accentuate properly, especially when the tempo is nearly 100 with lots of "marimba" melody playing in the bass and crazy extremely low bass notes.

My the lord bless you all
Very nice version. Never heard the Recordo arrangement before. Slightly different from the standard 3550 QRS roll. And your piano sounds great! Thanks for sharing a wonderful roll with us.
Hey Louis. It’s been awhile since we talked. I noticed you haven’t uploaded in a while. Not trying to be nosy or anything but I want to make sure you’re ok. If there’s anything I could do for you let me know. 😊
Thanks for checking on me. Yes, I am alright, I just got busy with life and recently moved so I havent found much time to record yet, but I will try to record again eventually.
0:28 Music Starts
N'est-ce pas accéléré ? Je suis étonné d'une machine aussi puissante...
Was this played by joplin himself?
Unfortunately no, this is a purely arranged roll. Though Joplin did recorded for Uni-Record and Connorized rolls later.
GASTON QRS
I love old songs like this from about the years the ship sank. They're so neat, this and Just As The Ship Went Down, and the Lusitania songs. They're very interesting and seem to be pretty rare.
I have this one! It’s in almost perfect condition and I cherish it. Original 1921, 103 years old. Very fragile lol.
Good to see you again! 😊
Thanks for checking! I've just been busy with life and haven't got much time to record rolls, I still plan to do so!
Jesus Christ i am on the very verge of tears This is beautiful This is heart wrenching God have mercy on all that perished that day and all that are to perish from similar events
This is a great arrangement. I love J. Lawrence Cook's Imperial material!
What a pleasure to finally hear this roll again! When I was about 10 and just getting interested in opera (thanks to the weekly Saturday afternoon broadcasts), I'd already heard "Il trovatore" and fallen in love with it. However, recordings were not easy to come by in those days, and my ability to read music was still very much in its early stages. But some friends of mine happened to have an old player piano with an assortment of rolls, and when I saw this one among them, I was thrilled and insisted that they play it. Of course, I knew only one of its arias then, and I wasn't too happy that the selections were played out of sequence and I didn't hear my aria on the roll until near the end, after a whole bunch of others that I still didn't know. But this piano roll was a big help, and today, after nearly 70 years, "Il trovatore" is still one of my favorite operas (with or without some help from a certain Marx Brothers movie!). Thanks for providing this!
Fuera de serie, increíble, estupendo👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thrilling!
Very good and nice one with the remembrance of a bygone era ❤
Great and lots of unseen pictures from Lusitania ❤
Ive never seen a roll with two different lyrics on either side before, that's pretty neat!
WERE SAVEING THE TITANIC WITH THIS ONE!!!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️
How fun/
Delightful hearing music from over a hundred years ago played as they would have heard it then.
At 2:40 Oh’ Susanna is my favorite.
At 1:32 That is my favorite tune on piano rolls.
I just bought a roll of this for my simplex piano player. I unrolled some of it and watched the music on yours line up with mine! Of course with the limited scale of my instrument it was not exactly the same but I could easily tell what notes were which. Thanks!
How beautiful 😍❤️ the sound of the Sting 2 player piano 🎹❤😂🎉😅😊! 8/12/24! 8:50am! 4:02
Great to hear a player roll of this, I first heard this tune when I was getting acquainted with the music of Dunkerque’s Carnaval!
Imagine your in Southampton boarding the Mauritania and a couple peirs down you hear this why its the unsinkable Titanic leaving for its maiden voyage in sure that it will go fabulous 😂
THERE A ICEBURG DEAD AHEAD
Could you tell me how you are able to determine the date from this roll's catalog number? Thank you for sharing all the wonderful music!
Sometimes I have The Music Trade Review monthly catalogs, which I could check for certain titles, but if I can't find it, I would use close numbered rolls and approx the date, otherwise I would base off other brands date of the same song.
I have a medly roll like this one. Its titled "The Girl from Utah". Really a nice one. Probalbly as old as this one. Nice roll that you have as well. I should have included it in my livestream.
I know this is on one of my rolls. I've heard it before just can't rember what roll it was. Nice roll.
Nice video too 👍🏻
Thanks for posting this! I choreographed a line dance to this song and titled it "The Maple Leaf!" It incorporates lots of authentic ragtime steps. You can find it by typing "The Maple Leaf Line Dance by Gregory Huff" into the UA-cam search prompt.
Great March Roll Louis I Enjoyed It😊
Great Roll Louis I Enjoyed It😊
Who counted the perfs?
The Roll MIDI scanner!
whats the cooper wire for?
This roll predates my piano by 3 years! Great post and so exciting to see a roll that has lasted this long.
Great performance
If you have ever sailed before, you might recognize how the cadience of this song seems to reflect how a ship rolls in the Atlantic.
Lol nice
Fantastic Roll Thanks For Posting Louis😊
What a beautiful, dainty waltz, and I love the piano role! This song was used in the Hitchcock movie "Shadow of a Doubt", one of my favorites, and I never knew it was a real song until now!
Amazing!
the 30000 series rag rolls are great!
This one is beautifully arranged. Not to mention the use of a lot of modernistic novelty licks is not something you see in rolls so old!
A Themodist roll released by Universal?
This is the Universal Song-Roll series, usually "hand-played", it does have the Themodist accenting along with it, but isn't a Themodist-Metrostyle roll.
@@LouisLPlayerPiano I didn't know themodist punches were used on other brands.
I have that March, but it needs SO many repairs. So thank you for putting it on here! Great march!!
Is that the rms majestic in the first few seconds of the video?
That is the Berengaria, ex Imperator.
Is this George Botsford playing?
Unfortunately no, this is just a purely arranged roll, no playing was involved.
Great Tango Roll I Enjoyed it Thanks For Posting Louis😊
Fantastic roll I Enjoyed it Have A Great Night😊
