An MMD correspondent recently said he is retired and had to drop
AMICA and MBSI because of budget concerns.   May I recommend the
Carousel Organ Association?

Dues are only $30 per year (USA), and include an excellent quarterly
journal, each containing newly-written articles, editorial content,
and advertising about "band, fair and street organs, calliopes, and
hand-cranked organs of all sizes."  COAA sponsors six or more organ
rallies each summer, spread across the country.   There is a web site
at www.coaa.us, and a Yahoo chat group for members.

An email to me at <ms-ss@swbell.net> or the membership chairman at
<add39@charter.net> will get you a sample copy of the COAA Journal.
