American Patrol. Supertone 10090. F.W. Mecham. Year: 1914.

Twenty-three years ago today, September 11, 2001, America was attacked in an act of terrorism. I felt like it was appropriate that I post this patriotic and wonderful roll that was cut in 1914 as a reminder of the spirit of resilience and patriotism that brought so many of us together after that terrible day.
This roll was gifted to me by a great man who loves this country and is an example of a real American to me. Kind hearted, hard working, logical and caring.
This song was written in 1885 as a march.

Wonderful roll with lots of character. Your piano suits it perfectly!

What are those big globs of dirt 0:12 and the hole at 0:33 caused by?

@jimthesoundman8641 Probably just something that's happened to this roll within the last 110 years. I've only owned it for less than 1 year. I'd love to know the history of where it's been but I'll never know.
