Helen found this site and posted in a song thread. I thought it was worthy of a thread of its own. These are really a blast to listen to.

Thanks, again, Helen, for the great find!

To hear 165 band organ tunes, played on real Wurlitzer Style 165 band organ

Thanks kat,

I had a great time listening to these. The Powerhouse Museum in Sydney has a Wurlitzer organ set up in a mini reproduction-style theatre. It's amazing!

Listening to the sound files just transports me back into that lovely little theatre with the fancy decor and the plush seats.

Who needs a TARDIS when you can listen to these?

Helen

Back when I was a sort of musician, I would have much rather played them than hear them. Fun to play.

SOunds like a wonderful palce, Helen.

My five month old grandson and I had fun listening to the ones from the carousels and, now I know of another song written by my mom's cousin, Vincent Youmans, even used in a movie!

Thanks, again!
