I've never heard the song in question, but I have an old player piano roll, recently uncovered, along with other dolls, of the song. The title is listed as "I wish where was a wireless to Heaven, then Momma would not seem so far away". The information on the piano roll box says it is a ballad in the key of E Flat, played by Ralph Relchenstral, composed by White and produced by Fred Fisher, Inc. The brand of the piano roll is Voco Word Roll and was printed in 1922. Anyone know where a copy of the song could be heard? I no longer have a player piano.
