Come to the Fair Old Time Wurlitzer Carousel Music

THE WURLITZER #157 BAND ORGAN: This beautiful Band Organ began its career at Ocean Grove, New Jersey, in the early 1900's. It was then moved across the boardwalk to Asbury Park, New Jersey, where it furnished music for a carousel for many years. In the mid 1960's, Paul Eakins bought the organ and completely restored it. The organ toured State Fairs and Expositions for years and was also featured at the Gay 90's Village in Sikeston, Missouri, and the Gay 90's Melody Museum in St. Louis, Missouri. It is now featured on the carousel at Kings Island in Ohio, where it is lovingly nicknamed, "The Queen of Kings Island". The Wurlitzer #157 Band Organ is a masterpiece of automation. A paper roll controls the organ which plays like a band, hence the name, Band Organ. The wind instruments are ready to play solos just like a living band. The machine has a double tracker bar, so that when one roll of music finishes playing, the other one plays. Each roll has 5 to 10 tunes. The front is a beautiful light cream color, elaborately carved, and decorated with gold leaf and vivid colors. The panels and screen over the swell shutters are beautifully decorated with realistic landscapes. To further set off the organ, the decorative front is wired for 34 small red, white and blue lights, thus making a wonderful display at night. This CD is perfect for carnvial or fair themed events, or children's birthday parties. It has over 70 minutes of some of the most beautiful music ever recorded. Songs include: Little Annie Rooney, After the Ball, Maggie Murphy's Home, National Emblem, Skater's Waltz, With Trumpet and Drum, Tesora Mio, Our Dictator, Love's Dream After the Ball, Wedding of the Winds, The Blue Danube, Hands Across the Sea, Impassioned Dream, Over the Waves, The Diplomat, Come Take a Trip on My Airship, American Patrol, Helema Polka, Ben Hur Chariot Race, Bostom Commandry, Roses From the South, Me and My Shadow,Hula Lou, Just Like a Butterfly, Rosie O' Reilly.
