Hi all, I've finally been drawn into the discussion of Old West
saloons. While in a customer's house one day he had his big-screen
TV on with an old Western film on.
In one scene, some kind of show comes to town, and there on the back of
a horse-drawn buckboard, supposedly in the middle 1800s, is a Wurlitzer
or Artizan band organ with the facade off of it merrily "playing" away.
The bass drum beater was mounted in front of the bass drum, I guess to
lend realism to the fact that it was playing. Obviously the sound was
dubbed in. Never found out the title of the movie.
