Word Roll "Ching Chong"
By Damon Atchison

My worn old roll titled "Ching Chong" has much that other rolls don't:
the words are on the _left_ side, and in the treble it plays all but the
top two notes on the keyboard!  I don't know any other song that ever
uses those notes.  Opium was a popular back in the 'teens -- guess what
Ching Chong says:

   "The old man in China town will lite your pipe
    and you'll float away light!"

And if anyone has a roll cabinet for sale, _tell me_!  I want one!
