Cryin' for my used to be - Thomas "Fats" Waller and James P Johnson piano roll duet

Long considered to be one of the "lost" piano rolls, a copy of this finally appeared was Rob DeLand recut it in 2001. Waller & Johnson made one other duet roll, "If I could be with you one how tonight" which is full of bravura playing, but this roll is quite different. It uses 4 hands quite sparingly to give more rhythmic texture at places, and only bursts into full 4-hands a few times right at the end. I think it's superb, but it's also different-enough to understand why perhaps few copies were sold. All of QRS's rolls by Waller were credited to "Thomas Waller", only later did they issue some by "Fats Waller" - which were not played by Waller but by J Lawrence Cook. So, although this particular roll was credited to "Waller and Johnson", logically it's a Thomas Waller roll! The copy here carries an original, never-used, QRS label that was picked up by Mike Montgomery from the QRS filing cabinet in the 1950s in the hope a copy might turn up one day. He offered a few spares for the first lucky few to get this recut. Pianolist Julian Dyer, on a 1914 Steinway model O grand Pianola.
