Eubie Blake hears his piano roll 56 years after - at age 94 (1977)

The legendary ragtime pianist Eubie Blake gave a concert in Mekanisk Musik Museum in Denmark in July 1977. During the concert the organiser, Claes O. Friberg, presented an old piano roll for Eubie Blake and played it on a player piano in the museum. The piano roll, which Eubie Blake himself "recorded" in 1921, 56 years earlier(!), played the song "Wang Wang Blues". After hearing the roll to the end, they talk briefly about the roll and the song, and Eubie Blake plays parts of it to the great pleasure of the audience! Enjoy!
