Calliopes and Nickelodeons: Shotgun Rhythms from the Temperance Era

No need to plug a coin into the nickelodeon to hear those old favorites like "Pop Goes the Weasel" and "Oh Susannah." They're here, along with other popular tunes played on the calliope (the "steam organ," once a frequent sight on riverboats or at circus parades). A surreal step back into the past, the nickelodeon and calliope offer sounds now distant to today's soundscape.
