Organ Grinder in New Jersey
By Todd Robbins

The organ grinder and monkey I posted do very little with the organ.
He has a ton of bits with the monkey and he can work a full evening
with great results.  You know, when you have and organ _and_ a monkey,
it's all about the monkey and very little about the organ.

Todd Robbins

 [ Street entertainers discovered several centuries ago that the
 [ music attracts attention, but an act with an animal brings in
 [ the money (even if it's only a mouse in the shirt pocket)!
