Big thanks to my sister Iman for videoing while I pumped. Here’s my favorite rag, “Down Home Rag” as arranged by Herman Avery Wade for Universal. This was the first roll I ever bought, and I got it for $2 on eBay. The seller thought the roll was the common QRS 9700 roll done by J. Lawrence Cook- I can see why. The leader was torn off, and hence any info as to the roll manufacturer was gone. At the time, the only roll version of “Down Home” on YouTube at the time was the Cook one.
Universal roll 300387, arr. Herman Avery Wade.
