I'm writing a paper over player piano rolls for my audio preservation class, and this video has me completely MESMERIZED. It really shows of the track bar really well. Definitely helped me understand the piano a little bit better.
+James Vander Vegt I deleted my comment because, in watching the keys, it could indeed have been played by one player - with a much wider reach that my hand, though. :-)
I used to always watch the Beverly Hillbillies with my Grandpa, and to this day I can't think of the lyrics any different then "I wish I was in Dixie, away from Pearl in Dixie!" Granny Clampet was singing that as cousin Pearl and Jed were in the other room playing Dixie on the piano.
Thank you so much for posting this!! I think these pianos are so freaking cool!!! Someday, I'm going to have a big house and I'm going to put one of these in my hubby's man cave!! LOL
+win95/C:/Classic Computing Guy Eh. Don't worry, the game died in a horrible fire, after some controversy was sparked about the developer abusing his powers.
Pixnut: I don't know of any source for this arrangement.This was probably JL Cook's arrangement, as were much of his work during the years he was doing player piano rolls.
This is what made or history what it is today. People who have nothing to do but bitch about things need to remember that it was things like this which helped create what we have today. They should be promoting or heritage and not trying to get rid of it. We should be proud to support or heritage not cut it down. I am sorry to say this but today's generation has no self worth or pride in what made what they have today. Today's generation is self centered, selfish and has NO respect for anything.

+drummerglenchin very enough, I agree. Even if the confederates had won the war, slavery was becoming such a primitive thing that it would have dissipated eventually.

it's so cool the lyrics are printed on the roll! :)
Favorite rendition of Dixie so far! Deo Vindice!
Just enjoy a great old song. No need for us to fight the war over again! LOL
PASS THE WHISKEY
What a great sound your player has, very full and rich, looks great too.
My favorite version of the song. Absolutely great, uplifting and overall just a beauty.
Wow. If this were being played manually would it have to be a duet?
B Maitland OK cool

Nope, the game is good now. The game has been getting alot of support lately.
This is one of the best Anthems ever!

General Lee anyone?
It's my favorite song!!
Long live Dixie!
Is it bad that I'm black and I really enjoy this tune? Thanks fallout 3 -_-
I worked in an amusement park gift shop that has a player piano and it played this all the time. I love Dixie and I wish I was there right now.
Superbe interprétation
I love old music like this - it shows how rubbish some modern music really is!
I can't not find that roll anywhere I want that same roll I like how it starts the other ones aren't my favorite.
God Bless the South!! Where common sense and family values rule the day!

I agree, it should be known as the history of America, should we be proud of the confederacy? No, I don't believe we should.

+drummerglenchin I am familiar with all of that but what that have to do with the opinion I had stated?
+drummerglenchin very enough, I agree. Even if the confederates had won the war, slavery was becoming such a primitive thing that it would have dissipated eventually.

Is this score available anywhere?
You can buy player piano rolls on eBay, as well as directly from QRS company. Yes is the short answer.
No dislikes, thank God for supporters of Dixie!
I don't think a number of people got what you meant by "ragged". But I know what you're getting at!
como se eso posible
@whoisthisguy724 I say if a song sounds "raggy" to you, rag the hell outta it!
That does it....I'm voting the Confederate ticket next election! Hoo-Ray, Hoo-Ray!
The South will rise again. From a Canadian.
