Great Barrel Organ CD
By Rocci Cirone

Howdy Folks...

Just made an interesting purchase at the local Tower Records yesterday - "The Magic of the Barrel Organ" on CD. It's published by a company called "Eratos".

Anyway... it has about 16 songs recorded from three different dance/band organs. (A Limonaire w/xylophone, a "Gross Orgue Gaudin", and a third I can't remember right now...) The songs are polkas, operetta overtures, marches, waltzes... etc. It's really cool - and well nigh annoying to my neighbors when piped through a 200 watt sound system at full volume!

So... just thought I'd pass this along to the AMMlist in case you'd be in for such a recording.

PS: Anyone out there know of any other available recordings of orchestrions,
band organs and the like?
