Seek Calliope Recordings
By Barbara Laing

-- forwarded message, please reply to sender and MMD --

Dear Jody Kravitz,  Can you help me in my search for recording/s
of a riverboat calliope, or calliope music in general?

I am new to this subject and am writing, and in the process of
recording, a song that references the sound of a calliope from
a riverboat that would have been travelling up and down the Ohio
in the early 1930's.  Even anything close would be helpful.

I checked the "Sources" and "Books/Audio" section of your web site,
but found nothing. Any suggestions would be mightily appreciated.

Thanks in advance for your time!

 [ Could we have some reviews, please, of good quality audio
 [ recordings of live calliope music, especially hand-played
 [ performances?  This would be worthwhile information for
 [ the MMD Archives and the MMD calliope site at
 [ http://mmd.foxtail.com/Calliope/  (I'll place a short
 [ MIDI file of a calliope tune at the Calliope page just
 [ to lend some atmosphere!  :-)  -- Robbie
