Hanging on the walls in the movie room is our collection of E.T. Paull sheet music. We have (I lost count) different ones, plus a bunch of variations which is not a complete set by any means. I hear from the "King" of E.T. Paull collectors, Wayland Bunnell, that there are around 210 different titles. With the variations in these titles, i.e., size 11x14 or 8 1/2 x 11, different arrangements with different prices, reissues, and even different lithograph houses. Some of them with a single title will be printed in black and white then you'll see it in full color then maybe again in two tone all with the same title, and maybe other variations as well. There's somewhere around 600 and maybe as many as 800 possibilities, I keep finding more and more of them, maybe their right. At any rate, this is what the ones I have look like. If you like, you can click on the lavender Midi button to hear what some of them sound like, assuming you have a midi player in your computer. For most of the files, I have taken the music and put them in the midi format, one note at a time, using a wonderful program called "NoteWorthy Composer", http://www.ntworthy.com . As I have time, I'll do more of them.

Another bit of trivia about
these pieces, I don't really know if it's true or not but it makes a good
story. Because most of these pieces run about 5 to 6 minutes in length,
longer than the standard phonograph record of the time which was between
3 and 4 minutes, and Mr. Paull would not let them edit his songs, not many
of them appear on records. On the other hand maybe they just weren't good
enough. (As a comparison Thunder and Blazes
Not a Paull Piece) However, you do see them on piano rolls from time to
time.
