 [> Dear Sir:  I am looking for pictures or more info about a music

I think you will find all the information you need about this organette
in "The Organette Book", which is still available from Todd Augsburger
at http://www.rollerorgans.com/  if you live in USA(?), or directly
from myself if you live elsewhere.

Happy New Year to all MMD'ers

 [ Kevin, your reply, "Buy the book," is rather cavalier.  It would
 [ be nicer if you would give Tammy the information she requested,
 [ and so generate book sales by offering a carrot, not a stick.  ;-)
