Tarantella Napoletana

So I was going through my uploads and realized I haven't uploaded any of my 125 arrangements. This waltz was arranged by Wurlitzer for the 165 scale but apparently never made the cut for the 125 or 150 scales. Adapted by me, 2017, for the 125 and 150 scales.

Where the Shannon Flows Down to the Sea

This fantastic tune was arranged by Wurlitzer back in 1919 for the 125 and 150 scales but appears to have never made the cut for 165. It's also my first attempt at an early Wurlitzer-style arrangement for 165.

There's A Lot of Blue-Eyed Marys Down in Maryland

As part of an ongoing effort to get more members of the current generation interested in mechanical music, I've been working on adapting some more contemporary tunes to be played on carousel organs. It is admittedly hard to find contemporary tunes that will fit the scale but this one was obvious

Down on the Corner

Words and music written by Grace Doro, 1919

Arranged by Patrick Nese, 2016, in the 1910s Wurlitzer style

I'll Be Your Baby Vampire (if You'll Be the Fool There Was)

Composed by Schroeder & Demetrius in 1957, this jazzy Christmas tune was most famously performed by Elvis Presley.

Santa, Bring My Baby Back to Me

Comp. Vito DiSalvo. Arranged by Patrick Nese for Wurlitzer 150, 2018. Featured in the "Italian Day" scene of the 1988 WQED documentary, 'Kennywood Memories'

Tarantella Americana

Posting a bit late but here's this year's Halloween arrangement. Composed by Irving Berlin, 1913

At the Devil's Ball

A new holiday tune that recently caught my ear. Composed by Denmark Brainard & Tyson, 2015 and originally performed by The Ellas

Bakin' Cookies

A silly little song performed by Elvis Presley for a 1967 film starring him titled "Easy Come, Easy Go". Now when I first heard this song, my first thought was "BAB". So without further ado, here's "Yoga Is as Yoga Does" arranged for the Artizan/BAB 61-key scale in the style of J. Lawrence Cook.

Yoga Is as Yoga Does

Written by George W. Meyer, 1913

Adapted for band organ by Patrick Nese, 2019

That Syncopated Boogie-Boo

"Cripes!" is a novelty rag composed by the very prolific Tom Brier in 2005 and released as part of the limited-edition "G" Nickelodeon roll titled "Echoes of the Barbary Coast", arranged by Art Reblitz. This is my interpretation of the tune for band organ, arranged in 2014 for all three of the standardized Wurlitzer scales, plus the Artizan/BAB 61-key scale, heard here, played on an Artizan C-2 organ. At the time of recording, the organ was owned by the late Max Huff

Cripes!

Written by Peter Tinturin, 1947

Adapted for the Wurlitzer 150 scale by Patrick Nese, 2020.
