Tunes are "Listening" and "Song Of Love" ... The beautiful, fully restored 1905 Dentzel menagerie carousel at Ontario Beach Park, Rochester, New York (its original location), with its 1987 Stinson 165 band organ which now plays MIDI disks of Wurlitzer 165 rolls. The day I recorded this, all the organ's registers were playing (the trombone, trumpet and forte registers are almost always switched off on the side panel). These are the first two tunes of the unusual but nice all-waltz roll 6631, "Listening" (Irving Berlin) and, at 1:57, "Song Of Love" (Sigmund Romberg, adapted from melodies of Franz Schubert and Heinrich Berte).
