Fairground Organ Recording of "La Gazza Ladra"
By Tom Snyder
Dear Lesley, So sorry for your loss. Upon reading your request
I recalled an album I bought many years ago of French carousel
organs that had "The Thieving Magpie Overture" on it. Here's
a link to info about the album:
http://www.carousels.com/bblack/vinyl/ccrecord0203.htm
An MP3 audio file transferred from my copy of this album is
stored in a web folder where you can easily download it (5.1 MB)
(click on "download" in upper right hand corner of screen to
download): http://ppl.ug/YxWA86256wA/
I also just saw a copy of the album for sale on eBay as well.
Hope this helps...

[ The large Gaudin fair organ (840 pipes, 80 trumpets) is in
[ the collection of Paul Bocuse nearby Lyon, France. The music
[ arrangement is humorous and distinctly French. More about
