Hi, thanks for making this transcription. This was originally issued / released on a QRS Autograph roll in 1918, although I'm not yet sure what month. It was absolutely avant-garde when it came out. One of the only other pieces comparable to it in its musical futurism was "Cubist fox-trot" by Thomas Griselle from the same year, although it's unclear to me which actually came first in 1918. "Collector's Classics" was a recut / reissue label operated in the 1970s/80s I think (I *think* by the late Don Rand) which almost exclusively issued recuts of old rolls from the 'teens and 'twenties, under their new numbering scheme, mostly rags, blues, and fox-trot type popular songs. So the MIDI you used was derived from a scan not of the (exceedingly rare today) original QRS issue, but of a 'pneumatic recut' copied roll, copied from that QRS original, and issued in the 1970s/80s. So the perforations won't be as exactly aligned to the punch-master grid as the original factory production roll, but good enough for most listeners. Hope this helps.
Much appreciate this information. I hadn't considered it much before but it makes a lot of sense to me that this and Cubist came out at around the same time.

Another great roll of this is the Ampico recording by Herbert Clair who was a major interpreter of Confrey.
Not to be confused with the Jack Yellen & Milton Ager, "My Pet" - 1928 Fox Trot. LoL
Lol
This sounds great! Is it also possible for you to transcribe Giddy-Ditty? I would love to play that one!
Ah, this is the roll with the alternate C strain?
Hey! I didn't know you were a fan of this guy's channel!
Oh absolutely! Where you can find novelty piano, you can find me.
