Hi Bill,
Optical illusion.
I can ever resist any mechanical music but noticed a strange effect
after staring fixedly while reading the words on that moving piano roll. When
I looked down at the other text below on my screen it appeared to be moving
quickly upwards. Probably the same effect noticed when looking backwards out
of a moving vehicle - trains especially. When the train stops the view from
the window continues to seemingly move.
No red wine on this occasion...honest!

Hello Sundial-Listers,
By happenstance I found a piano roll video performance of Lu-Lu-Lou (1920's?).
One of the verses ends with:
Lu Lu she's so dumb she'll soon be in the booby hatch
I saw her telling time last night on a sundial with a match.
I don't really recommend the performance, but it is here:
http://youtu.be/o2gscYRU2U4 . Verse starts at 1:52.
-Bill
