Unknown Carousel Music In Twilight Zone Episode
By Richard Dutton

In response to Jim Leonard's inquiry in the 22.02.09 edition of the
MMD, the carousel tune in the "Twilight Zone" episode is a portion of
the "Artist's Life" waltz, op. 316, by Johann Strauss II (1825-1899),
and dates from 1867.

I see in a list of Wurlitzer 150 rolls online that the tune,
Strauss's "Artist's Life" waltz, was included on at least five such
rolls: #10327, 10336, 13059, 13078 and 13176.
