Andy Latorre's MIDI driven fairgoround organ sounds interesting.
I hope that, for those of us who get only to the biggest and best
band organ rally, MBSI Mid-America Chapter's annual rally, that
he will be bringing his machine to North Tonawanda July 25-28 for
the exposure it will get and the friendly fun he will enjoy
there.
By the way, Seabreeze Park, Rochester, N.Y. (about an hour east
of the North Tonawanda-Niagara Falls area) received delivery on
its new band organ from Johnny Verbeeck in Belgium, replacing the
Wurlitzer 165 lost in the March 31, 1994 fire. It will be up and
playing 165 rolls before and after the rally. I for one will be
going over to see it and play my favorite rolls on it and to ride
for the first time its wonderful new hand-carved carousel.
