Unknown Dutch Street Organ on Music Cassette
By Phil Evans

-- non-subscriber, please reply to sender and MMDigest --

Hi,  I am hoping somebody can help me.  I am trying to find a particular
recording of a Dutch street organ I owned many, many years ago.  I realise
this is quite a long shot but you never know, somebody might recognise
what I'm talking about...

The reason for looking for it is mostly nostalgic.  It was actually
a video posted on YouTube  http://youtube.com/watch?v=GPWEfu5vkPc
Attachment thumbnail that made me want to find it -- the arrangement played in that video is the exact arrangement I remember from the cassette I owned. I have no idea how many copies were made of the cassette; it may have only been a few, but I do remember some of the songs included. They were (in the order I remember): Side 1: 1 - Tulips From Amsterdam; Cuckoo Waltz (or possibly the other way 'round); ... I Want To Teach The World To Sing; last track: Oklahoma (as played in the YouTube video - possibly last track on side 2). Side 2: last track: Land Of Hope And Glory (as mentioned above, may be last track on side 1, I know these two arrangements were both the last track on one side or another). I also remember the picture on the front of the inlay. The organ was in front of what looked to me like an office building with a revolving door; I strangely remember that detail quite vividly. :-) Like I said, I know it is a long shot but I want to try and track down this recording so badly. I was hoping maybe enough copies were distributed that someone who owns it and recognises the tracks on it may have it and be a member of these forums. Here's to hoping Phil Evans
