Wurlitzer 165 Music Arranged by Rich Olsen
By George Karpel

Rich Olsen's  "Big Band" roll

As an avid fan of Rich Olsen's arrangements I can truly say that
this new Style 165 music roll is going to be a winner.  As a carousel
operator at Burnaby Village Museum in British Columbia, I've observed
that whenever I put on the Style 150 version of this roll on our
Wurlitzer organ, I can immediately see the riders whistling and keeping
time to the music.  The other operators as well all request this roll
on the organ.  So when I heard the MP3 version of "In the Mood" on
Matthew Caulfield's web site, I wished that our carousel had a
Wurlitzer 165 organ instead of the 146B.  The expanded instrumentation
makes the music sound that much better.

Keep up the fine work, Rich.  You've completely revolutionized band
organ music.
