made phonograph records for the Abbey label, always billed as "Lawrence (Piano Roll) Cook" and sometimes accompanied by a small jazz combo. Most of his selections were ragtime and Tin Pan Alley standards (Tiger Rag, Dizzy Fingers, etc.) as well as novelty songs (How Many G's in Peggy, Paw?). In addition to his work as the featured artist, Cook was the pianist for vocalists Jerry Cooper and Dorothy Loudon, who also recorded for Abbey. Cook's Abbey records were issued in Canada under the Quality label. References External links J. Lawrence Cook Very extensive site J.
