Well done with great visuals. "Georgy Girl" has a catchy and memorable recurring musical bridge, and the Wurlitzer 153 does great justice to it. It can also be heard at the Lake Compounce, Conn carousel and it's on the 2nd of their recent CDs. The arrangements for this and other tunes in a 1960's and 1970's roll were done I believe by the late Rich Olsen. The Central Park Carousel, housed in a similar building to the one in Prospect Park, has played this roll for years also, but on a Ruth und Sohn band organ, without the effect of bell bars.
I've decided that in the first time I parade a Wurlitzer 153 to Buckingham Palace I will have roll 13400 playing. Then 14519 after. I'll parade the 155 Monster first, playing Royal Trumpeters!

Nope. This is Roll 13400 arranged by Jonathan Jensen. It's his only roll.
The "caliope" is actually a "Wurlitzer Model 153 Military Band Organ." Georgy Girl is tune #6 off of Wurlitzer roll #13400.
