All they did was turn the handle of a badly-tuned instrument, often with no thought to the rhythm either. That said, I'd sure like to get my hands on one of those old instruments.Christine H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09786732494496282743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3323012003780250968.post-22176120300614064712012-02-17T20:04:12.542-08:002012-02-17T20:04:12.542-08:00Terrific post on an unusual type of ephemera.

This was one of thousands Rimick produced that became the tunes everyone knew. However the card's organ grinder is not an instrument that I'd associate with sweetheart days!Mike Brubakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13065245846262417519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3323012003780250968.post-32479522403851564742012-02-17T17:19:58.645-08:002012-02-17T17:19:58.645-08:00Wonderful card - what a find!

I was really hoping to like the song, but, alas, it just doesn't do it for me. There is quite a lot of old music from that era on the Internet, much of it is surprisingly good.Howardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07556727166267551805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3323012003780250968.post-4442035436994307732012-02-17T15:32:05.745-08:002012-02-17T15:32:05.745-08:00That's a very unique advertising card.
