"Christmas 2001 my dad and I visited a Santa garden in the local mall and they had a machine playing short clips of Christmas Kaliope music. For the first time in years I saw my 70 year old father return to boyhood in his excitement to hear such an arrangement. Hence my search for some Wurlitzer music began. I was delighted to find this and it's companion Volume 2 CD.The CDs are a true wonder. I waited until the Sunday night before Christmas to give him the albums - as a gift while we set up the train garden for the many new grandchildren in the family. This music put us in the holiday spirit and kept the adults entertained like kids as we spent all night fixing up the trains, toys and little things for Santa.Best of all came Christmas Day when we invited the children to explore the train garden. To my 2 year old nephew, the garden was much more entertaining than even Santa! The only trouble we had was getting the kids to leave the garden to eat Christmas dinner.Volume 2 has more songs (28), but Volume 1 has most of the popular tunes. You also don't need a fancy stereo system to get the best sound from these CDs. Wurlitzers have beautiful music but no stereophonic qualities. The [new]boom player ended up playing these tunes better than the $[more expensive] surround sound stereo system. Just stick your boom player in a corner, pop in a CD, set to continuous and random and you'll have a great magical background to your train garden, Christmas Tree room, or Santa's village.Very Highly Recommended"

This is a wonderful CD!

"This CD gives you a chance to listen to the Christmas Carousel music during the Holiday Season, especially when amusement parks are closed. Very nicely arranged by Tom Meijer. The music also gives you a feeling of nostalgia. The Wurlitzer 146A is a nice band organ that still bring in the crowd to the carousel. No carousel is complete without a Wurlitzer Band Organ. I highly recommend this CD."
