Hello members.  My name is Bonnie Mariani and I have been interested
in mechanical music since I rode my first merry-go-round. I have
followed people who owned band organs and bought every audio tape
available.  In the next year or so I wish to have a band organ.

I was a commercial printer until last November 23, when I lost my
job of 23 years.  I am also a antique dealer in a Ohio antique mall.

I didn't know there were as many people as there was interested in band
organs.  Hope to hear from new members soon.  Thanks

Bonnie Mariani
