PianOrchestra in Ray Siou Collection
By Ed Sprankle

Hi All,  This is a follow up to Andrew Barrett's and Terry Hathaway's
musings about Ray Siou's 'PianOrchestra'.

Ray never owned one.  Instead, he had Noble Stidham build him a 'poor
man's PianOrchestra'.  This machine is still in Ray's collection and
it plays all sizes of Wurlitzer 65-note APP rolls as well as NOS rolls.

Just to be sure, I called Ray this afternoon, and he confirmed my
recollections.
