    I grew up in Riverside. This brings back so many memories.

    I've stumbled on your channel trying to find carousel music. I did not expect such visuals. Such if I was making a film, I would defiantly use them in a murder mystery, as Alfred Hitchcock. [The opening scene, a carousel with music]
    Writing fiction starts out from what we know, something we can all understand. That's where the writer starts out at, like one of your videos. Every day, people having fun on a carousel. Then something happens, something terrible and someone is left to blame captured. But he's innocent, and we (the audience) know it. Thank you for all your videos. I got a brass ring once. I think there is a film already called the "Brass Ring", so I'll have to come up with another name for the film. Thanks! Just awesome music! Takes me back to better days as a child. I know all those songs too! The sound volume is perfect!

    This Ruth must be built back to the 38 Ruth scale. Only than you can listen to a majestueus organ.

    So great to see this carousel up and running again. Btw did you know the roll playing on the Ruth & Sohn band organ was commissioned by myself and arranged by Andy Park and numbered 6891. I commissioned this W165 roll back in 2018 and the other one Crescent Park has (6880) in 2017. Keep uploading more of this great carousel and band organ.

      Lovely roll! I can't get over the German voicing of this organ when it hits the cadence at 17:05, sounds like I'm in a Bavarian biergarten.

      @@BenSchwartz Thank you very, very much. I hope CP will buy the other rolls I have commissioned.

      BTW, I just emailed David Blake to interest him in the other rolls I have commissioned.

    I might have asked before but isn’t that playing Style 66 B.A.B. Rolls? Good to see you posting content again! By the way, I have an original roll #044 B.A.B. From the Seaside Heights Illions carousel. The roll should have a new home.

      Wurlitzer Style 165 Roll system. All tho it does occasionally play B.A.B rolls for 165's.

    What's with the eagle at the top of the center pole?

    • @BenSchwartz

      This finial's listed on the National Register of Historic Places Inventory-Nomination Form compiled October 1985: "Atop the center post is a
      large wooden eagle, approximately 4' in wingspread, covered with gold leaf." Safe to assume it's a Looff original. The eagle used to carry a small fabric American flag in its beak - looks like it has been recently removed (within last 10-20 years).
