Introduction & CD of New Dutch Street Organ
By Jan Kees de Ruijter

Hello, this is my first and hopefully not my last contribution to this
marvelous site.

In Holland a new CD with interesting music was released.  It is a newly
built 76-key street organ, called "Dulciaan", and it was built by the
Pluer company in Bussum, Holland.  The repertoire which is played is
all classical, such as the Hungarian Rhapsody by Liszt, Eurianthe by
von Weber, pieces by Rossini, Bach, Purcell, Schubert, Keler Bela, and
also a selection from West Side Story by Bernstein.  You can order this
CD on the Pluer home page (which is linked to MMD as I have seen):

From Great Britain came a nice book about the history of the caroussel.
It contains history and photo's (old and new) of all the caroussels
which still exist somewhere in Britain.  It was released by the
Fairground association of Great Britain, 5 Crook Lane, Studley,
Warwickshire B80 7QX

This may be intersesting for people to know.
