Unknown Fair Organs & Tunes on Old Recordings
By Adam G. Ramet
[ Ref. http://mmd.foxtail.com/Sounds/Barrett/index.html
#9: "Annen Polka" by Johann Strauss
#15: "Banditenstreiche Overture" (Jolly Robbers Overture)
by Franz von Suppe
#21 is definitely not by Ketelbey nor Victor Herbert. There is much
similarity to Robert Stolz's 1920 foxtrot "Salome". By its style I'd
date the tune closely to 1919-1920. A similar type of foxtrot appears
in a pastiche style in Ravel's "L'Enfant et les sortileges" (1925).
This style of multi-themed dance foxtrot is a European one from the
1920s almost certainly.
#22: Carmen Overture (Bizet) played on the Thursford Collection's
84-keyless Wellershaus
#24: Cowboy Serenade by Nosibrath
#27: Espana Waltz by Waldteufel (based on themes from Chabrier's "Espana").
I've never heard a fair organ play the Chabrier version nor am I ever
likely to!
#28: "Lily the Pink" played on the Thursford Collection's 84-keyless
Wellershaus
Sincerely
Adam Ramet
[ "Lily the Pink", by the 1960s British Pop Group "Scaffold", commemorates
[ Lydia Pinkham, "the woman who was maybe the most famous maker of patent
[ medicine in the U.S.A." See http://www.mum.org/mrspink17.htm :
[
[ We'll drink a drink, a drink, to Lily the Pink, the Pink, the Pink
[ The saviour of the human race
[ For she invented medicinal compound
[ Most efficacious in every case.
