Daniel = Dr. Richard Alley? The similarity is making wonder!

    I see only vague similarities. I don't think we are the same person.

    Well it does concern me a little that Daniel himself isn't really sure he isn't the same person as Richard Alley.
    However I see 2 men with beards, glasses and ecological awareness but apart from that not even close.
    Differences like age, nose, hair colour accent are pretty easy to see/hear.

    I guess it is the voice and quirky personality that makes the close comparison for me. *shrug* :)

    I don't know about the alter ego, but I wanted to say that I did enjoy the street organ.

    That street organ is priceless. Seriously, aren't they very rare?

    Now that we've figured out that I am not Dr. Alley, I would like to state that I am also not Jayman, Dave_PH, or dogfriend.

    There is no mention of sharks in any of my organ videos. If I ever make another, I will be sure to mention sharks just for you.

    I'm glad.

    A good street organ is expensive, but there are organ builders operating today, and you can buy one if you care to spend the money. They are more popular in Europe than in the U.S., but there is an organization of organ collectors here. I don't belong to it. I'm not a collector. I just have and enjoy my organ the way some people enjoy having and playing a guitar. Except that it takes some talent to play a guitar, and with an organ you just have to turn the handle.

    The Street Organ looks like fun Daniel, you obviously get a lot of enjoyment from it. At least you can say you can play a musical instrument. Do you know the tunes it plays?

    I don't know the names of the tunes, no. When I bought the rolls they listed the tunes, but they were all German names, so I never paid any attention.
