I am also a long-time fan of Johnny Maddox, and had the pleasure of
hearing him in person many times when he was playing in Alexandria,
Virginia. He was living in Minneapolis at the time. He told me that
he used to have several orchestrions and learned some of his repertoire
from them. I have a number of LPs autographed by him and have been
looking for CDs. Thanks to the MMD for pointing me to his web site.
