"Wurlitzer Waltz" Played On Wurlitzer Caliola
By Kent Zacherl

As I listened to a performance of the "Wurlitzer Waltz" on the
Wurlitzer Caliola at DeBence Antique Music World, it began to sound
like the familiar waltz, "When Lights Are Low".  Did Wurlitzer change
the name and a few notes to prevent copyright infringement, or was
there some foul play with different composers?

Just wondering,
Kent Zacherl

P.S.: To the friends (everyone in the mechanical music world) and
family of Marty Roenigk, I just want to express my deepest sympathy.
I never got to meet this great man but I feel like I have lost a
friend.  Also, will Mechantiques still be selling the machines listed,
or even be adding new ones?
