Well for my money, if you want calliope, you've got to go with Schikele & PDQ Bach. (The Intimate PDQ Bach album is still hilarious today) You think gigging with one of our heavy hulks is a pain, Schikele actually toured the US (and elsewhere?) with a real steam (no air blowers) calliope on stage back in the 70's.....whew, bless that roady!

Vance....calliope.hmmmm, a new sound for the tape library?
