Hoffbauer Harmonipan at "Zum Werkelmann", Vienna
By Ingmar Krause

Hello there again,  Yes, there surely are other organ grinders in
Vienna.  My point was only that Oliver Maar is the only one actually
making a living of it!

The Harmonipan at the Heurigen "Zum Werkelmann" belongs to the owner
of the Heurigen, Wolfgang Geissler, son of Otto Geissler, who was the
one setting up a mechanical music museum in the bohemian Prater and
also did quite a bit of the preparations for the first MEMUSI organ
rallies to take place at all.

This Harmonipan, e.g., only plays at this particular Heurigen; the
_income_, though, comes from the Heurigen, not the organ grinding.
See my point?
