I hope you all enjoy it,
Ben :)
(P.S. I will uploading another video clip of Wonderland which I also filmed at Elvaston steam 2008 sometime during this week or next week)
Anyone know what happened to the video clip of 'Wonderland' that we were promised on July 14th? We never seem to have heard any more about it.

Some stuff from the Olcott, NY rally:
David Wasson's "Trudy"
Wizard of Oz Medley...A nice waltz ... A good march ... another march
Larry Kern's Stinson "Ambassador" ...The brand new "Grand Master" Stinson, with accordeons! ...
Those of you who do not attend the COAA rallies should be sure to see these three organs while they are on YouTube. Because the posts are not (I believe) authorized by the owners and may contain music with recording rights protected through ASCAP, they might be removed.
Trudy is a homebuilt organ made to an original design and key. Dave Wasson is responsible for everything except the compositions. He does the arrangements and punches the rolls. Trudy has been evolving for about 25 years. Technically the organ owes a lot to Wurlitzer and other American builders, but musically more to Mortier. Dave is a amateur organ builder in the best sense of the word, although he now earns his living at Organ Supply Industries in Erie, PA.
The Stinson organs are modern machines built in an Ohio factory by Don Stinson. Don started as a restorer, but now sells internationally to amusement businesses as well as "collectors." It was a rare treat to see three big Stinsons at the same rally. I think Ambassador is about 10 years old, while Grand Master,and another similar to Ambassador whose name I can't recall were making their first appearance, as far as I know. There was a fourth, smaller, one at Olcott as well. Two days later I listened to another Stinson on a carousel in a park in Rochester, NY. Commercial band/fair/street organ building is still alive in the USA.
Stinson Organ has a web page at http://stinsonbandorgans.com/
