Street Organ Recording of "La Gazza Ladra"
By Glenn Thomas

Lesley Coton asked about a fair organ recording of "La Gazza Ladra".
I share those thoughts of the quality and enjoyment of this great piece
of music.  There are several great mechanical organ arrangements of it:
Tom Meijer did it for European organs and Wayne Holton did it for the
Wurlitzer 165 scale.  I have both and would be glad to provide you
with a recording of either the Wurlitzer 165 version, or the 112-key
fairground scale played on "The Glacier", a Verbeeck organ.
