New CD of Wurlitzer 165
By Marc Elbasani

Dear MMDians,  Well, so far I've received 5 e-mails showing interest in
the new CD.  However, I seem to have mislead some people, as they have
requested specific themes to their CD.

Folks, I've been recording mostly B.A.B. music, and only what I consider
to be the good stuff in my eyes.  This means that I cannot produce a
full 74-minute CD containing only Wurlitzer music.  The good news is
that I can offer a CD containing a decent number of Wurlitzer tunes
to get me started:

 "Play-Rite's WurliTzer 165"

 -- Wurlitzer arrangements --

 1. Hands Across the Sea (march)
 2. Skater's Waltz
 3. Impassioned Dream (waltz)
 4. Over the Waves (waltz)
 5. Tessoro Mio (waltz)
 6. Valse Bleu (waltz)
 7. Beautiful Ohio (waltz)
 8. After the Ball (waltz)
 9. Waltz
 10. Waltz
 11. Wedding of the Winds (waltz)
 12. National Emblem (march)

 -- B.A.B. arrangments --

 13. Irish Washerwoman (jig)
 14. Creaking Old Mill On the Creek (waltz)
 15. Down At Coney Island (two-step)
 16. Speranze Perdute - Lost Hopes (waltz)
 17. Chain Gang (foxtrot)
 18. If (waltz)
 19. Experience Unnecessary (foxtrot)
 20. I Wonder Who's Kissing Her Now (waltz)
 21. Sixteen Tons (foxtrot)
 22. Three O'clock in the Morning (waltz)
 23. Rock & Roll Waltz
 24. Little Child (waltz)
 25. Waltzes from Faust

I can't remember the titles to 9 and 10, but they're pretty good.
I've been honest and straight with the Malones about recording, so
if they are pleased with the success of this CD, I'll probably be
permitted to make more recordings.  Evidently, it'll be Wurlitzer
from now on.  (I'm sure a certain retired librarian amongst you doesn't
mind this :)).

The CD is filled to the 74-minute brim with these 25 tracks, so
everyone should be getting their $10.00 worth.  I will release the CD
in a few weeks provided that:

1.  The Malones and I have finalized the conditions of the
CDs release.

2.  At least 20 prepaid orders have been received.

3.  I get settled into college.

That's right folks, I move into the dorms this weekend.  It'll be
camaraderie and communal bathrooms from now on ... Oye!  I will only be
able to produce the CDs on weekends, when I have the time.

Now then, the CDs will come in jewel cases and shipped by priority
mail.  Total cost including shipping and handling will amount to
$12.00.  I've been keeping all e-mail requests for the CDs so that
I can notify you all when it's time to send in your orders.

Warmest regards,
Marc Elbasani
