Tunes on Wurlitzer APP Roll 30302
By Glenn Thomas

In 131211 MMDigest, Scotty Greene asked about the tune titles for
Wurlitzer APP roll 50302.  The correct roll number is actually 30302.
This roll is from 1939, only six years before the end of Wurlitzer
roll production.  In these final years, very few roll serial numbers
were issued by Wurlitzer with relatively few copies of each due to
low demand.

Fortunately, many of the masters for Wurlitzer rolls in these final
years still exist at the Herschell Carrousel Factory Museum in North
Tonawanda, New York, and Doug Hershberger is glad to sell copies
produced on an original Wurlitzer perforator.  Visit
http://www.carrouselmuseum.org/ 

The tune list follows for roll 30302:

 1. This Is It - Fox Trot
 2. The Umbrella Man - Waltz
 3. And The Angels Sing - Fox Trot
 4. Ain't Cha Comin' Out? - Waltz
 5. Three Little Fishes - Fox Trot
 6. I Paid For The Lie I Told You - Waltz
 7. Beer Barrel Polka - Polka
 8. Where The Shannon Flows Down To The Sea - Waltz
 9. Deep Purple - Fox Trot
10. I Whisper Good Night - Waltz
