Unknown Band Organ Tune at Circus World Museum
By Dan Robinson

The tune in the YouTube clip that Ben Waterbury asked about in
yesterday's MMD is "The Bonnie Briar Bush" (Joseph H. Ellis).

  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8o0tZJJx84U 

It is playing from a Wurlitzer Style 125 roll.  On another video,
Andrew Barrett identified the same organ as a 46-key Gavioli,
converted to play Wurlitzer Style 125 music rolls.
