MultimediaCarousel MusicWilliam Black, carousel historian and restorer, visited the Palace in the 1960s and tape recorded the Wurlitzer 153 band organ. He later captured the sounds of the Palace and other band organs on "Carrousel Music," a CD collection of 27 classic carousel songs played on a Wurlitzer 153, operated by two 10-tune paper music rolls as was the Palace organ. Listen to "Over the Waves" in MP3 format. Palace CommercialWatch the only known television commercial for the Palace (1.5 MB). Used courtesy of Billy Smith. MorganaIn the late 1970s, the Palace's most popular fortune telling machine, "Grandmother's Predictions," was replaced by “Morgana,” a seemingly faceless mannequin. Once a player inserted cash, and typed in a date of birth, Morgana's face suddenly appeared in all of its frightening glory as she spoke and told fortunes. The fortunes heard here, captured at Rye Playland by Dan Toskaner, are identical to ones made by Morgana at the Palace. Sounds of the Palace - 1986A rare audio recording made inside the Palace featuring carousel music ("The Beer Barrel Polka"). Copyright 2005 Brian Maher. |
