Wurlitzer 153 Playing Polkas

[@boombox4037]

I love how this one sounds really good and positive just how I like it

[@rexoliver7780]

Makes me think of the carousel on the Mall in Wash. DC. They had an organ like this. Was nice to listen too. The carousel was closed in winter.

It was another Wurlitzer 153, that organ's serial number is 3683, manufactured around 1924 - 1925. It recently made an appearance on Joe Hilferty's KZbin channel(channel name: wurlitzer268) and Rory Lehman's KZbin channel(channel name: Carrousels and their Wurlitzer's). Hilferty is a band organ restorer in York, Pennsylvania.

I love this!!! It makes me so happy and really puts me in the mood for summer. Warm weather can't come fast enough!!

[@Wurlitzer146-A]

The tune at 7:25 is called "More Beer Polka."

[@gordonforcier9628]

Boy, I have just got to get me a copy of this roll for my 153. Anybody know how I can get in touch with Bob Stuhmer?

This is a great Polka roll 14504. Brings back so many memories, listening to this roll play at Richland Carrousel Park’s Stinson JB66 band organ as a child. Probably 10 years ago. Another great Polka roll is the roll 14505!

kzbin.info/www/bejne/lWqzan6PZ86Bo7s I recorded this as a child back in 2010 at Richland Carrousel. Playing this roll.

[@gordonforcier9628]

I did and Andy from Gold Leaf doesn't have his address.

Isn't the tune at 6:55 'Der Fuehrer's Face'?

[@McGeezax]

No, it's 'The Jolly Coppersmith'.

[@DancingNotes83]

No, Spike Jones borrowed a bit of the Jolly Coppersmith for Der Fuehrer’s Face.

[@coondogtheman]

I don't think I'd get anywhere near that belt just to change a roll. I guess if you are careful. And why such a big motor? are those bellows that hard to move?

[@billode1]

Ik if that was mine I would shut it off then change it

[@coondogtheman]

@@billode1 Same here, and lock it out.

[@Wurlitzer157]

I wish I could have made it really bad now!!!

Someone's got the name of the first tune wrong.... it's the Tinker Polka... or at last that's what I've always known it as, and being from Wisconsin and of Germanic heritage I'd stack that against a paper label. Sorry folks.
