Probably one of the most recorded and played songs by many artists over the last 104 years! I love it.

I don’t hear any lyrics…

We’re going to the circus! 🎪 🤡

One of three rolls I know of played by Lynch.

1.25x is closer to the tempo in some recordings...

Array of hits from one “Little show”

Who ever rebuild that thing must be close to god bless you who ever you are

Its sounds wonderful post more on that old cat house job

No joke, literally right after I watched this video and read thru some of the comments,I felt like something was off, I went to look around my basement (we have an exposed basement, my room is down there) The door leading to outside was unlocked, I had forgot to lock it (it’s midnight rn) And we live right next to a busy boat launch with not just people launching boats and fishing, but also creepy people who drive in at 2 in the morning and just sit there, we’ve had people in our yard before, so that could’ve been really bad 😰

“All dreams have a meaning!” I had a dream where I was being chased down the road by this shadow demon thing who was skipping while playing Circus by Miley Cyrus on a bagpipe. I also had a dream where I went on a hike, and I met gollum from lord of the rings , then he led me into this open field and I was like, “gollum, I have a bad feeling abt this field” so I went back to the trail but he stayed put, and then the whole field blew up. I ran into the burning field after gollum, and it was too late, he had already turned into Voldemort (when Voldemort looked like a skinwalker in the 4th movie before he turned back to himself) Another dream I had, I was in this labyrinth thing (the one from the movie the book of life) but instead of a giant ball chasing me around, it was jojo siwas head, with boomerang playing in the background 😭 How are you gonna tell me that those dreams have a meaning 💀

Taco brought me here

Thunder and blazes is the name google it

You speak so weird 😂😂😂😂😂

Wait that's weird 🧐😲🧐

What im falling 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱

Im angry 😡🤬😡🤬

I love this version and also Leon Redbone version too . Just so awesome .

I absolutely love this song I have a duo art piano

Love this old song, on the old piano roll.I remember my Mother and my Uncle Murray singing this song in our room and a half in Brooklyn, NewYork. The year was 1955, I was seven years old.

Would have been hilarious using circus music instead (Thunder and Blazes). 😅

Singing in the rain

Wendling played another version as part of a medley roll, and it is very different from this version. This just goes to show how brilliant Wendling was.

Too slow...

Oh! Its a Welte! They had had a secret (pneumatic ?) recording device to be abel to produce a paper-roll with the exact timing and the dynamic of the player hammerd into the keys ;-) At least the told everybody so, but the special record"M. Welte & Söhne"ing device was destroied during bombardment in WWII. There is no construction plan and nothing left, but the story about it. The story tells that the recording device worked full automatic and outputs a paper roll for a Welte player piano. Playing this roll sounded exacltly like the human player whos performance was recorded. So it seems they had built a kind of precursor of a midi-device, only made with pneumatik and simple electric components, without any transistor or microchip in the 40ies or even earlyer. I'm not convinced that it was full automatic recording on paper rolls, but rather writing with a stylus on paper, And the guys in the "M. Welte & Söhne" manufacture had good skills in translating the jagged lines on paper into corresponding holes on paper, so that the pianist who was told, that they direct record his performance was convinced they did so. What do you think ?

Gran música 🎶 🎶 de primera clase🍽🍷

Petition to rename it to something even dumber, like Entry of ________.

oh my god

What a great rendition....

1:12

The staccatos at 0:55 sounds great

2:03 Oh no, the score, it's not complete

We had an upright player Kurtzmann grand piano in the 70's and I spent my teenaged years in the hit parade of the 1920's. I'd come home from high school and pumped the pedals of the player piano. It came with a pile of yellowed paper rolls from the 1920's I gingerly played. My parents bought the piano from an associate of my father's and there was a fellow nearby who knew how to rebuild the player part. My kid sister learned to play piano on it. That's the best thing to teach your kid how to play the piano! My sister at age 4 would get bored with lessons and just put a piano roll on and pumped the pedals! She's in her 50's and still plays! My dad bought her a Steinway (medium) grand and my mom said the piano is going with you when you get married. I go visit my sis and the piano is first and for most in the living room. Beautiful instrument!

Why didn't they reprint the expression line?

Please answer this. Why did they not reprint the expression lines on the recuts of these rolls?

Entry of the gladiators

Enter of the Gladiators by Julius Fucik

1:01

I always thought this was a Rube Bloom piece, but I guess he just recorded it.

Just found this Roll in a random Box I bought recently. Great rendition imho. Now I'm off to discover what other delights lie within. Cheers.

I like to listen to this

I've always loved the music so much of the turn of the previous century, I often wish I had been born in 1900 - as opposed to 1955 so I could have been right there to play it, sing it and dance to it. ❤
