We used to go to Norumbega Park when we were kids, but I don't remember the organ.

@sousafan100 No, unfortunately it's all gone. The carousel was destroyed but most of the carved animals and the organ were rescued just in time. Most are in the hands of collectors. The organ remains here in Nevada. A custom display trailer was built and it is now getting out periodically for events such as outdoor parties. A web page specifically for the organ is in the works.

@amazing763 yes, i remember Big Brother. As a child I watched him every day. He lived in newton on one of the streets in the area around (or behind) the South Pacific Restauraunt near Beacon and Walnut Street. I used to see him grocery shopping at the old Newton Centre Market and one time I got an autographed promo card/photo from him. I do remember Norumbega Park but I was very young and my memories are vague, like a dream

Hi Rob. John in Las Vegas. As the late Lawrence Welk would say, "Wonderful, wonderful. I can't wait to hear the Wurlitzer in person! Fantastic!

What a wonderful organ and first class "original" restoration. The video was also wonderfully put together... a "perfect storm" of a band organ video. On my favorite list... for sure.. Thanks !!

And to make things even better, this is one of my favorite tunes!

The person in the photo at 1:21 hugging the giraffe is "Big Brother" Bob Emery, host of a kids' program on Boston's channel 4, WBZ-TV in the 1950s. His career in radio started in the early 1920s, around the same time the 146-B was built.
More about Bob can be found by searching for bob emery boston radio

@amazing763 I was excited when you mentioned this, I was hoping to make contact and possibly see if he could assist me in finding more pictures. Unfortunately upon searching I discovered that he's been dead for 29 years! Oh well.
