Hi Group, I am helping with the Wurlitzer Automatic Player Piano Roll rollography that Terry Hathaway is compiling. He is converting Julie Porter's Excel spread sheet information to a relational database. Terry kept finding "JC" notations in the Excel spreadsheet and asked Julie what they meant. She told him that she had asked me ["JC"] to send all the APP information that I had. Terry then contacted me and asked me to send the information to him to help answer questions that he had about the Excel file. I sent him what I had sent Julie and then scoured my files for everything I could find on APP rolls. I have been sending Terry material for months and I sent the last of it today. In my collection of rolls I have four unidentified APP rolls: numbers 644, 750, 2666 and 20798. Of course, none of them show up in the database; maybe someday. They can be heard at http://www.mmdigest.com/Gallery/Sounds/APP/unknown01.html But I just now bought three more original Wurlitzer APP rolls without labels (numbers 1670, 1675 and 1677) and I would ask again that you give them a listen and see if you can identify or confirm the missing titles in the new list below. After seeing the phenomenal job that Terry has done, I would like to ask anyone that has any 5- or 10-tune APP rolls in their collection to send the roll numbers to me and I will let you known if the roll is not in the database. If it is information that is needed I would then ask that you a scan of the label or copy of the information that is on the label and send it to me. I really enjoy helping to fill in the blanks. The entire Wurlitzer APP database is on line at http://www.mechanicalmusicpress.com/registry/wurlitzer/mr_wapp65.htm Thanks, Jack M. Conway
