Wurlitzer APP Christmas roll
By Kevin Keinert

I live in Santa Maria California. I own a Wurlitzer C Orchestrion.
After I purchased it, I began to hunt for rolls and fellow collectors. I
stumbled across a gentleman (quite by accident) who just happens to live
in the same town and has a large collection of rolls. He has an original
green paper 6 song APP Christmas roll from the Clark Roll Co. He was
gracious enough to loan it to me, and I sent it off to Dick Hack. He
knows someone with a roll cutter and they had several made. I just
received my copy of the roll a few weeks ago. Dick had the original
since June, but I understand that his friend with the cutting machine is
very busy. For all those who want an APP Christmas roll, contact Dick
Hack. If he gets enough orders, he can probably persuade his friend with
the cutter to make more.....

I think all the songs on this roll are very good with the exception of
Silent Night. Because, the melody is exactly the same from verse to verse
and it repeats about 6 or 7 times!!! (It gets old after about the third
time). But besides that, I love this roll and it's great to play for
friends around Christmas time. Mine will stay on the machine until after
the holidays.

If anyone has questions, or would like to hear this roll played to them
over the phone, call me at (805) 937-8881  The best time to catch me at
home is Tue, Fri, Sat and Sun from 6:00PM to 9:00PM California time.

Kevin Keinert.
