Introduction
By Bill Elfstrom
Thanks to all who have responded to my search for band organ music on CD. I've already learned a great deal by subscribing to the mailing list and have really enjoyed the different discussions.
A brief introduction: My name is Bill Elfstrom and I'm a fan of band organs, nickelodeons and most any antique mechanical music makers. I guess my first "mechanical" concert was listening to the huge band organ in the Penny Arcade at Disneyland many, many years ago. Ever since then I've loved the music. When a band organ plays you just can't ignore it! When I was a kid my father was briefly interested in restoring upright pianos and one day bought a player to repair. Unfortunately he moved on to other interests but it did give me some insight as to how player pianos work.
These days I'm just a listener. Some of my other interests include early Disneyland and the 1939 New York World's Fair.
Cheers, Bill Elfstrom
