"The little Thumb" Jan Van Eijk Street organ

[KawhackitaRag]

Thanks for posting the video of the organ, though! I've never heard it before, and I'm sure it would sound great playing somewhat more suitable music!

@KawhackitaRag Thank you for watching! and thank you for commenting! My pleasure I have another video of it ( Probably I think )

The tune playing is "Grandpa's Spells" by Jelly Roll Morton. Why anyone would arrange this for such a small street organ is beyond me!

The best organ version I have heard of it is a custom arrangement played on the late Ken Smith's 63-keyless Ruth-style organ.

Now, I think this Limonaire used to be in the Paul Cuoco collection.

@KawhackitaRag It takes limonaire rolls.

@KawhackitaRag Every Draaiorgel Takes the same type of cardboard Books so I guess it would work on anything.

@KawhackitaRag See my new video of people talking about the organ.
