Wurlitzer 153 band organ + Spillman Engineering carousel (1925) at Tuscora Park, New Philadelphia OH. Tune is "The Woman Of The Year". Plays on MIDI, but apparently can still play rolls.
I have heard that the beautiful Dentzel/Looff carousel at Casino in Seaside Heights NJ, and it's band organ are for sale. This song was on one of their rolls and brought back memories. They never recorded their band organ music. So sad!
Last Saturday, I got to ride the Paragon Park carousel,at Nantasket in Hull, MA. with my fiance', Martha, and her friend, Barbara. I loved every minute of it, I'm 63, and use a walker, yet I still rode on it, despite my balance. Now, I'm turned on to carousels!
BTW, does the Wurlitzer 153 band organ, use rolls or a MIDI interface?

It actually uses both, now it's using rolls.
Which I prefer.

sounds like it was playing on rolls,
but on the midi function it sound's ok.

It's kind of odd. I was enjoying the music, and wondered why nobody left a comment, I relized that I was left spellbound.. Anyway, Thank You!
