Seek Information on Recuts of Wurlitzer Rolls
By Dan Robinson

Mentioned in the online Wurlitzer band organ roll catalog at
https://wurlitzer-rolls.com/ are George Carr and George Morley,
both of whom cut some rolls. One operated under the name "George's
Organ Rolls," but I haven't been able to determine which one.

Does anyone reading this have any information about Carr or Morley,
or a list of rolls produced by either?

Thanks,

[ Here in Southern California, in the 1950s and '60s, both Orval Cooper
[ in Long Beach and George Carr in San Bernardino copied music rolls
[ for band organs and orchestrions that played 75-channel Wurlitzer
[ APP format rolls. Collector Bob Fine had worked for George Carr and
[ later owned Carr's homebuilt roll copying machine; he never mentioned
[ the name, "George's Organ Rolls," to me during many visits. -- Robbie
