Band Organ Electric Power in a Parade
By Wallace Venable

Julie Porter said, "The main issue of operating the instrument during
the parade is electric power -- a portable generator will be needed."

At the COAA rally at the Wurlitzer building last year (as best I can
recall), Kevin Shehan brought a Model A Ford truck with a Caliola
which was powered by an antique Fairbanks Morse single-cylinder engine.
He fired up both the truck and the one-lunger and did a couple of runs
down Niagara Falls Blvd.

Maybe you can partner with an antique engine buff.
