Unknown Tunes Played on Wurlitzer 125 Band Organ
By Jon Schell
Hello, I was recently at the Washington County Fair in Minnesota and
came across a Wurlitzer Style 125 Military Band Organ built on March
8th, 1913, according to the sign. I made an audio recording of it
consisting of three pieces of music, but I have no idea what the songs
are. Can someone possibly identify them?

Thanks for any help!

[ The first song of the MP3 audio file is certainly "On The Atchison,
[ Topeka And The Santa Fe". Matthew Caulfield notes that this is tune
[ number 1 on Wurlitzer roll 3241, which is the first roll published by
[ T.R.T. Manufacturing Co. after Wurlitzer quit making band organ rolls.
[ Song 3 sounds like a fox trot arrangement of "There Must Be A Way".
