Unknown Wurlitzer 165 Band Organ Tune Identified
By T. J. Fisher

I think Andrew Barrett is undervaluing his discovery.  I have been
constantly frustrated by the lacunae in available information about
Wurlitzer 165 music rolls, and I just about died a few years ago
when a lost roll was discovered in its entirety!  This is just as
valuable a find for us who want to know about these tunes, and it
may be that anyone else _could_ have identified this tune for us,
but it was Andrew who managed to do it.

Perhaps anyone inspired might see Matthew Caulfield's web site and
listen to the other tunes which have yet to be identified and we'll
get lucky again!  Visit http://www.wurlitzer-rolls.com/

 [ Andrew identified Wurlitzer 165 roll #6505, tune 7, as
 [ "Under the Big Tent", by Ned Brill (1913).  Hear it at
