As part of my ever-broadening passion for the dying art form of
mechanical music, I have decided over time to take it up to looking
up the sheet music of many Wurlitzer arranged tunes from authors such
as Harry Warren, Walter Donaldson, Harry Akst, Pete Wendling, etc.
Overall I have memorized the lyrics of some of the tunes but, hey,
it can't hurt to re-memorize!
Be warned: Some of the sheet music is hard to come by on the Internet
for copyright or other unknown reasons.
Below are links to two great sites for sheet music for various
1920s-30s hits including many tunes arranged by Wurlitzer's many
arrangers that ended up on various orchestrion, band organ,
nickelodeon, and APP rolls.
