Prinsen Organ at Dutch Festival in Memphis
By Philip Jamison

I just returned from a job with my street organ: a 1,000 mile drive
to the "Memphis In May Festival".  Each year, they salute a different
country, and The Netherlands was this year's choice.

I played my 47-key Prinsen organ hauled on it's new trailer.  I wasn't
sure if the rather ungainly 9' 4" high tarp-covered trailer would tow
safely with my 6-cylinder 1994 Ford pickup truck, but it worked fine.
The trailer holds my draaiorgel on it's old cart and the whole unit
can be put on and off.  I attach a picture we took there.
