Swiss Cake Rolls?? HA HA!! (Although I'm privy to the Hostess "Ho-Ho").

Piano rolls-- you know, player pianos! Pianos that play by themselves (made popular in western saloons). Believe it or not, they're still manufactured today!

Whoa... That's actually kinda cool. I could see that being fun.

Then again, there are those odd cool jobs out there that one just 'happens on'....

I grew up with one. I've been told the ones from the 1920s and 30s sound better than the ones made today. If you have any good sites to point me to, please freepmail me!

No kidding? Seriously? Wow! Learn something new on FR every day. I'd have thought those went the way of washboards, moxie soda and gaslight.
