Oh my gosh this exact tune is burned into my brain, my grandparents had (still have) an old player piano and this exact roll. I remember my brothers and I would throw it on, one guy would pump the pedals as fast as possible and everyone else would run laps around the ping pong table to see who could get the most laps. Now we’re all into metal and mosh pits and I’m pretty sure we have this weekly event to thank. Thank you for posting this

I have the same roll! I have the video on my channel (the piano is NOT even CLOSE to as nice as this pianola). I always thought it was neat to see a really nice piano playing a roll that I have.
