A little tune to lift your spirits, on this beautiful spring day. Mary Dear, from “Honeymoon Lane” by Creamer, Dowling, & Hanley. Played via Welte-Mignon Reproducing Player Piano Roll. This roll, # 75262, was recorded in June of 1927 by Harry Perrella. Mr. Perrella, (1900-1939), was a member of the Paul Whitman Band, and several other bands. There is very little information about him, out there, but suffice it to say, he is one of my favorite Welte Artists. Played this afternoon on my 1921 6’2” Baldwin Welte-Mignon Reproducing Player Piano.  Please listen with headphones for best fidelity, and thanks for listening.
