Horse-drawn Calliope in New Orleans
By Craig Smith
When Kathay and I were at the World's Fair in New Orleans a few years ago (1983?) we saw a large, horse-drawn calliope wagon. I saw the picture I took of it just a few days ago -- it was metallic silver. They told us it belonged to Disney. Real steam! They wouldn't play it though.

[ here?", I asked. His short reply: "California smog laws."
