My sister, Martha. I don't think I should give more info on a public forum.

Who is the calliope player then?
-
This is not daisy bell. This is a double course of sidewalks of new york.

It is "Daisy" (made more famous by the film "2001: A Space Odyssey"), preceded by "Sidewalks of New York". They sure sound sweet on the Belle's calliope! Although a small calliope, I've always rated it among the best.

I don't care what song it is but I like it alot.

Yes, that tune in the beginning (sorry, I was sleepy last night when I wrote that first comment) - That tune has to be "Daisy Bell" (A Bicycle Built for Two).

Is that "Daisy Bell" ("A bicycle Built For Two"), that I hear near the end?

I've always called that "Daisy, Daisy". I didn't recognize it as that and can't listen to it again right now because my speakers aren't working. I'll ask the calliopist to identify it for us.

Is that an old Jimmie Rodgers song? Sounds like "Waitin for a Train" or one of those old songs.

The video includes parts of two songs. I don't recognize the second one. The first is "Sidewalks of New York". The words I recall are:
East side, west side, all around the town,
The kids play ring-a-rosie, London Bridge is falling down,
Boys and girls together, Me and Mamie O'Rourke,
Tripped the light fantastic, on the sidewalks of New York.
According to a web site, it was written in the 1890s by James W. Blake and Charles E. Lawlor.
