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

    And used it on his carnival Cumberland Valley Shows.

  3. 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)

  7. Thanks for the comment BG!
    I only worked around Cumberland Valley in Valdosta when they played the fair for Little Richard.
    It was a FIRST CLASS Operation!
    They used to jokey around the pup trailers like it was a railroad show!
