MMD Archives December 1996 1996.12.20 04 Prev  Next Word Roll "Ching Chong" By Damon Atchison My worn old roll titled "Ching Chong" has much that other rolls don't: the words are on the _left_ side, and in the treble it plays all but the top two notes on the keyboard!  I don't know any other song that ever uses those notes.  Opium was a popular back in the 'teens -- guess what Ching Chong says:    "The old man in China town will lite your pipe     and you'll float away light!" And if anyone has a roll cabinet for sale, _tell me_!  I want one! Damon Atchison (Message sent Fri 20 Dec 1996, 03:04:18 GMT, from time zone GMT-0500.) Key Words in Subject:  Ching, Chong, Roll, Word
