Dutch Street Organ "de Duif"
By Babs Cannon

I had that recording -- I got it about 1961.  Most of it (the sound)
was Carl Frei.  My favorite number was "Music Maestro Please."  Also,
a first recording of another street organ was made in 1957: it was
titled "Afternoon in Amsterdam."  It was a Gavioli Draaiorgel.  My
favorite number on that was " Blue Tango."  Only two; I don't think any
others have existed for the general public.  I haven't been able to find
any other recordings since 1961.  It's a shame, too -- those
instruments are really great.  They have a sound all their own.
