Mae Brown was a piano roll arranger for US music rolls and is considered today to be one of the finest rag roll arrangers. Her rolls are sharp, inventive, and unique. This one, a medley of pop songs ragged, and played as a one-step, shows her abilities. The roll was used for society dances of the day. The songs are as follows:
1. It's A Long Way To Tipperary
2. Aba Dabba Honeymoon
3. He’s A Rag Picker
4. When You Wore A Tulip
5. War In Snider’s Grocery Store
6. It's A Long Way To Tipperary (reprise)
