[Ron L'Herault]

I  have a couple of friends who might be able to help, Jim.   I'm in
Massachusetts FWIW.

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.
