Elvis Was an Organ Grinder
By Damon Atchison

Recently I was in Graceland and I saw the "Sincerely Elvis" exhibit.
This part of Graceland is a miniature museum of Elvis' personal things
and his toys.  I was excited to see what looked like a miniature piano.
It was painted red and it had some flowers on it.  It looked like it was
German or European.

I originally thought that it was just a toy piano, but it had no
keyboard.  Then I noticed that it had a roll label in the side that
was changeable, like the ones showing the rolls that were currently in
Wurlitzer's nickelodeons.  It also had the handle on the side for running
it.  I was very impressed with his taste in toys!
