Introduction & Carousel Jobs
By Babs Cannon

Thanks for letting me in, My name is Barbara Cannon, but everybody
calls me "Babs".  I've done many things in my sordid past:  theater
organist, calliope player.  I did a little restoration work on a few
different pianos and band organs, and I worked on a few carousels,
helping kids get onto the horses, and off without getting killed.
Also did some of the carving and painting of them.  Some really took
a beating.

How I found you was simple -- I looked.  Really, I linked and linked.
I may contribute from time to time, but really, I learn more by
listening than talking.  Thanks again.

"Babs" Cannon

 [ Welcome aboard, Babs, to the "Whirl-Wind MMD Carousel" !  :)
 [ I hope you'll get acquainted with our other readers who have
 [ told us of their interests and involvement with carousels and,
 [ of course, the old organs which provide the music!  -- Robbie
