"Wurlitzer Waltz" Played On Wurlitzer Caliola
By Doug Hershberger

Here is the information from the Wurlitzer Caliola master stencil
at the Herschell Carrousel Factory Museum:

 "Caliola, The Wurlitzer Waltz by Box, Cox, Gibson Roberts,
  cut by W Wurl, 0ct 5-1936, [roll number] 6083 [tune no.] 2.
  [roll number] 608? [tune no] 7, O K  B"

"B" or "Benz" and his "O K" are on most of our masters.  We presume
he was some sort of checker or final inspector before the master was
sent to the perforating room.

 [ Composers Box, Cox, and Roberts also collaborated on songs like
 [ "I'm Singing a Song for the Old Folks", "Old Pal of Mine" and
 [ "Horsey! Horsey!"  -- Robbie
