R. Erik Weigand No, I'm just a part-time person. Our full time calliope player is a lady named Debbie who has been with the boat for almost 25 years now. The older gentleman is still around and plays usually just on Sunday mornings. His name is Capt. Clarke "Doc' Hawley, and he was actually the first master of the boat when she came out in 1975.
I personally cannot play that or any other tune. I am not the musician, just the videographer. I have no influence as to what is on the playlist. This recording is several years old, and I no longer live in New Orleans. Thanks for the comment
This Calliope seems to be a more mello sounding recording, maybe just the day or the instrument, it’s. Ot bad just different, I like them all!!

oh cool, thank you for posting this video of me playing the calliope last Sunday morning!
My Pleasure, is this now your position? Has the older fellow retired?

Could anyone help me decode the name of the first song played on calliope?
The first tune is "Blue Skies" . Written by Irving Berlin and sung by Al Jolson in he Jazz Singer. Also made famous by Willie Nelson and others.
