Music sheets featuring Ruth Roland have been uploaded to archive.org

I photoshopped and uploaded two music sheets that have Ruth Roland on the cover.

Both are large 600 dpi scans that were photoshopped so you can print them out.

"Why Do They Call Mamma Poor Butterfly." Words by Louis Seifert and music by W. C. Polla.

"Some Day I Will Make You Glad," words by Max C. Freedman and music by Harry D. Squires.

Have these pieces being recorded? If not, I can prepare a MIDI versions as I mostly do with tangos. With a friend, we rescued 562 files of music sheets (some more than one) from a defunct website, all of them, and they are also in archive org.

I occasionally reconstruct scores that have been horribly photographed for auction sites as well. That is the case of La Piba del Ta-Ba-Ris.

TodoTango has been defunct for the last 4 years and it may go offline at some point although I sometimes rescue elements from there, including many that I provided myself (fortunately, when it did go offline recently I was able to access through the Wayback Machine and kept rescuing elements). Many of these scores are used by friends to correct the pitch of 78rpm recordings of Argentine music. But I could rescue more.

Would love to hear MIDI files from these!

I see all these music sheets but never get to hear them.

I just uploaded "Mootching Along (At The Cotton Ball) from 1914. From the musical comedy "The Queen Of The Movies."

Thank you for rescuing all those tango sheets!

I'll prepare at least one MIDI recording next week. I'm about to make one soon and I also want to listen the Valentino music.
