The second article I have written for the AMICA Bulletin, with
the supporting help of my father, will be published in the September-
October 2019 AMICA Bulletin. Unlike my first article which discussed
my introduction as a member of AMICA to many readers worldwide, this one
talks about my involvement and passion in working in the Wurlitzer 165
roll and how that came to be. Many paragraphs in this article discuss
rolls that I have commissioned, future rolls I'm planning out, and some
of the factors included if anyone is interested in commissioning a 165
band organ roll.
I thought I'd share the tune keys of every single tune on all four
style 165 rolls I've commissioned so far (including next year's "Simon
& Garfunkel" roll which is still in blueprints and hasn't been discussed
with either Glenn Thomas nor Andy Park hopefully by December). My three
recent rolls have turned out to be absolute "gems" as reviewed by the
customers who bought copies or have received a donated copy from me.
