Thanks for the Robison! Not sure if you came across it, but there's an older post with his Six Studies in Modern Syncopation

The link above is a better scan, but I have another version that includes a note from the composer, and some old publisher ads.

Thank you for the alternate scan of the folio. I already knew that Himpsl sent over that folio. I also want to note something, no one even mentioned anything about sending a Willard Robison recording of him playing Out Of The South, since Himpsl mentioned it. We have to stop leaving this thread empty and put something new, not something we've already seen.quercus wrote: ↑Wed Jun 24, 2026 10:42 am Thanks for the Robison!

I think Richard Riley (he's amazing on YouTube) sold his copies of blues songs to Himpsl, but as far as I've heard, no one mentioned not one word of anything about sharing these blues songs with anyone.
Examples of songs that Richard had was Chain Gang Blues by Spencer Williams, It Won't Be Long by Seger Ellis, and Red Hot by Frankie Trumbauer, Ted Koehler, Maurie Sherman and Will Bradley. I've seen pictures of those songs that he had and sent on Facebook.
If anyone has these songs, and other songs by Spencer Williams and the lot by other black composers, and some other songs that I never knew of, send them over.
More stuff from Willard Robison.

Did you happen to get these songs from Joel of the Ragtimes YouTube channel? If so, that's amazing! Do you happen to have It Takes A Cincinnati Yellow by Al Bernard and J. Russel Robinson, and Papa Stringbean by Al Bernard and Jimmy Durante?

Hi, has anyone got "American Suite" by Willard Robison? I also wonder if there are transcriptions of these songs and if anyone has them:
In a sentimental mood (Ellington)
Georgia on my mind (Carmichael)
After you've gone (Layton)
Guilty (Whiting)
Time on my hands (Youmans)
How deep is the ocean (Berlin)
Many Thanks

If you've got recordings try dropping them in Musescore's free audio-to-score transcriber. It's wildly variable but I've gotten some excellent results from it over the past week with piano.Slowfox1931 wrote: ↑Sat Jul 04, 2026 6:57 am Hi, has anyone got "American Suite" by Willard Robison?

Could you possibly point me to Musescore's free audio-to-score transcriber. I don't see it. I see 2 paid apps in the MuseHub.
Thanks.
Tracy

Yes, I did. But unfortunately I didn't receive all the scores I asked for (7 in total), for which I exchanged another 7 scores. And... no, I don’t have that particular score you requestedFoxeyFeet1919 wrote: ↑Wed Jun 24, 2026 4:49 pmDid you happen to get these songs from Joel of the Ragtimes YouTube channel?
