Mechanical Music in Greece
By Al Menashe

There are several street organ operators in Athens.  I stopped one of
them to find out where the instrument came from.  He said his father
brought it over from Istanbul in about 1922.  He was pretty old himself
but he did tell me this is how he has always made his living.
