I used to love to ride that carousel! How cool about your mom singing there! Friends of my mom's family, the Grahams let Louie Armstrong use thier grand piano there once, back in the 60's when he performed there. Louie carved his initials in it and Dr. Graham's wife was so mad, she had the piano refinished! What style of music did your mom perform? It was so sad (to me) when that paladiom burned.
