"Blue-Eyed Sally" & Organ Grinder in Reno NV
By Barbara Christy

-- forwarded message, please reply to sender and MMD --

A few years ago (maybe ten) I was on a street corner in Reno, Nevada.
There was an old-fashioned cart, bright yellow, playing a music roll
or disc.  It was a song my mother used to play for us on the piano,
and I never heard it anywhere else until that day in Reno.  I didn't
know the name of the tune, so I asked the man who operated the organ.
He read the name right off the music roll or disc: "Pretty Little
Blue-Eyed Sally."

Do you know anything about this organ, or the music?  I just want
to hear it again.  I've tried for years to find out for myself but
I haven't been able to.

If you can find out for me I would be so grateful.  Or if you could
suggest where I might look.  Thank you.
