Many years ago Jesse Crawford, organist at the New York Paramount theatre recorded this nifty little novelty piece on the theatre organ accompanying an uncredited, yet fabulous, xylophonist. I have been hunting for about 20 years for a copy and finally it turns up at one of my favorite resources for sound effects devices, Steve Weiss Music. The piece is almost note for note what Jesse played (with his inclusion of some of his signature 9th and 13th chords) Condition of the sheet music is great. Now I can find out how much I had gotten right 'by ear' and what the original piece actually sounds like. Thanks!
