Happy music

There was a band organ rally in the park Saturday. We went in the afternoon and enjoyed some music. We saw small hand-crank organs, a big one with percussion that sounded like a brass band, several older organs that had been used on steamboats or in movie theaters, and one calliope.

Henry was admiring the old car that holds this organ and was offered a chance to sit in it and honk the horn. Here is the calliope.


After we had visited all the instruments we bought a bag of popcorn and checked out the carousel horses that were on display.
