Greetings from Louisville:
In a few hours the BELLE & I will be departing the 4TH Street wharf, up-bound for 6hrs to Madison IN. "With a historical twist"..
For the first time in 23 years the CaLLiope player on the BELLE will be standing AT the Steam CaLLiope on the Texas roof, Playing the CaLLiope.. Yesterday Dan and I carried up the equipment to accomplish this feat, "Mainly to do a major tuning".. (many Thanks to Dan Lewis)..
I Was SO happy to be invited for this trip again.. Last year Alan Bates and I had a fun time with the German TV crew, who were on the BELLE doing a documentary...

Sincerely hope some of our folks here on .ORG will be there in Madison and take some photos/videos of this event from the river bank..
Also, (is my understanding), the BELLE OF CINCINNATI will be there for a race on Saturday around 2:30 pm..

I will most likely be out of Internet service for the next 3 days, so if I don't reply to any comments, that is why..
I hope to meet and greet some of Y'all in Madison.. LOL

Best Wishes from Louisville./Madison. :)<----
