I'm writing a paper over player piano rolls for my audio preservation class, and this video has me completely MESMERIZED. It really shows of the track bar really well. Definitely helped me understand the piano a little bit better.
I used to always watch the Beverly Hillbillies with my Grandpa, and to this day I can't think of the lyrics any different then "I wish I was in Dixie, away from Pearl in Dixie!" Granny Clampet was singing that as cousin Pearl and Jed were in the other room playing Dixie on the piano.
Pixnut: I don't know of any source for this arrangement.This was probably JL Cook's arrangement, as were much of his work during the years he was doing player piano rolls.
Thank you so much for posting this!! I think these pianos are so freaking cool!!! Someday, I'm going to have a big house and I'm going to put one of these in my hubby's man cave!! LOL
+James Vander Vegt I deleted my comment because, in watching the keys, it could indeed have been played by one player - with a much wider reach that my hand, though. :-)
+win95/C:/Classic Computing Guy Eh. Don't worry, the game died in a horrible fire, after some controversy was sparked about the developer abusing his powers.
This is what made or history what it is today. People who have nothing to do but bitch about things need to remember that it was things like this which helped create what we have today. They should be promoting or heritage and not trying to get rid of it. We should be proud to support or heritage not cut it down. I am sorry to say this but today's generation has no self worth or pride in what made what they have today. Today's generation is self centered, selfish and has NO respect for anything.

+drummerglenchin very enough, I agree. Even if the confederates had won the war, slavery was becoming such a primitive thing that it would have dissipated eventually.

"Pass the whisky"
Bartender! A shot for me and one for the piano player!
If only there were sheet music for this version
Abraham Lincoln thought this was a damn fine tune!
PASS THE WHISKEY
Favorite rendition of Dixie so far! Deo Vindice!
it's so cool the lyrics are printed on the roll! :)
What a great sound your player has, very full and rich, looks great too.
My favorite version of the song. Absolutely great, uplifting and overall just a beauty.

Just enjoy a great old song. No need for us to fight the war over again! LOL

0:38-1:33 and 1:48-3:13 they really ragged the hell outta that tune!

One word: Amazing.

Nope, the game is good now. The game has been getting alot of support lately.
It's my favorite song!!
This is one of the best Anthems ever!
Superbe interprétation
I worked in an amusement park gift shop that has a player piano and it played this all the time. I love Dixie and I wish I was there right now.
I can't not find that roll anywhere I want that same roll I like how it starts the other ones aren't my favorite.
Long live Dixie!
Cook used the same arrangement on this Aeolian roll has on the QRS version. I'll post mine for comparison.
YEEHAWWW!!!!!!
Stand upon your countries altar never to submit or falter Look away, Look away, Look away, Dixie land!

I love old music like this - it shows how rubbish some modern music really is!

@Joncard15 HOOHA!
God Bless the South!! Where common sense and family values rule the day!
Who you gonna call !? Ghostbusters !
Is this score available anywhere?
You can buy player piano rolls on eBay, as well as directly from QRS company. Yes is the short answer.
I don't think a number of people got what you meant by "ragged". But I know what you're getting at!

I agree, it should be known as the history of America, should we be proud of the confederacy? No, I don't believe we should.

+drummerglenchin I am familiar with all of that but what that have to do with the opinion I had stated?
+drummerglenchin very enough, I agree. Even if the confederates had won the war, slavery was becoming such a primitive thing that it would have dissipated eventually.
Thank you...
No dislikes, thank God for supporters of Dixie!
The Great Dixie arm's
@whoisthisguy724 I say if a song sounds "raggy" to you, rag the hell outta it!
