Rescues of "Madam Laura" 87-key Gavioli on PBS
By Chris Carlisle

Hi All,  I finally have a link to the PBS TV video from earlier this
month.  It tells the story of my band organ, a Gavioli playing from
87-key books (possibly now thought to be a Limonaire).  This nine
minute video was originally planned as a segment of "Southern Routes",
which is broadcast in the Mid-South out of station WKNO, the PBS TV
station in Memphis.  It was so well received they are now doing an
entire 30-minute program in April.  Check out the video if you want:

Let it load and watch it.  Please let me have your feedback.

Thanks,
Chris Carlisle
