   [ Editor's Note:
   [    This is great stuff.  Thanks for sending it in.  There are still some
   [ more Band and Monkey Organ rallies this summer too.  There is also
   [ an "Old-Time Piano Playing Contest" in Decatur Illinois, but I don't have
   [ the particulars on it and it doesn't seem to be in the list above.
   [ Can anyone fill us in on these ?  How about others ?
