Word Roll "Ching Chong"
By Damon Atchison
My worn old roll titled "Ching Chong" has much that other rolls don't: the words are on the _left_ side, and in the treble it plays all but the top two notes on the keyboard! I don't know any other song that ever uses those notes. Opium was a popular back in the 'teens -- guess what Ching Chong says:
"The old man in China town will lite your pipe
and you'll float away light!"
And if anyone has a roll cabinet for sale, _tell me_! I want one!
