Dear Jody Kravitz,  Can you help me in my search for recording/s
of a riverboat calliope, or calliope music in general?

I am new to this subject and am writing, and in the process of
recording, a song that references the sound of a calliope from
a riverboat that would have been travelling up and down the Ohio
in the early 1930's.  Even anything close would be helpful.

I checked the "Sources" and "Books/Audio" section of your web site,
but found nothing. Any suggestions would be mightily appreciated.

Thanks in advance for your time!

 [ to lend some atmosphere!  :-)  -- Robbie
