I just remembered something that has been bugging me for a while: On
Zappa's Hot RAts there is a great sorta carousel sound on the
song "Return of the
Son of Mr Greengenes", or is it just "the Son Of..."? Anyway, if you
know the record its just a really beautiful and dramatic
carnival/boardwalk (depending on your childhood experience with a
carousel), sound.. It sounds like it was played on a keyboard but I
am not sure.. Liner notes say something about an "Organus Maximus"
but with Zappa I a cant tell if this is serious.. Whats the point you
ask? I really want to track this instrument down so that I can make
some tapes for my MK VI... Also looking for anyone in northern that
can play Bass Harmonica a la Pet Sounds.. Thanks
