When I  built my  first 165 band organ, I purchased the roll frame from
Mechanical Music Systems in Lubbock, Tex.  Along with the frame came an
unidentified roll.  I later found out that it was cut by Bacigalupi.
One of the pieces, "Over the Top," was a rather short march, but very
snappy.

I searched far and wide for a copy of the music so I could play it with
my high school band.  I should have transcribed it before I sold the
organ.  But I didn't, thinking I could get the music from Carl Fischer,
who published hundreds of marches in the early part of the twentieth
century, but they never heard of it.

Now I have no idea where the organ went, but I still want to get the
music.  Does anyone know of this march, its composer, or publisher, or
have a copy of the score?  The boys in my band would love to play this,
as I have told them how much I like it.
