Is this the same band organ that was with Royal American Shows for ever?

I'm not really sure.
ReplyDeleteI beleive J.D. Floyd owned it.
And used it on his carnival Cumberland Valley Shows.
It is! I remember Billy Baxter talking about the redo after they bought the organ. I sure miss Billy coming to the Texas State Fair every year. Really a nice guy. Did you ever work around he and his wife Jane? I think she resently married one of the Vavonas. (hope I spelled that right)

ReplyDeleteI only worked around Cumberland Valley in Valdosta when they played the fair for Little Richard.
