Steam Calliope In Action at The Rock River Thresheree in Edgerton Wisconsin

The calliope music just filled the air at the Rock River Thresheree in Edgerton Wisconsin. This calliope is a permanent exhibit and I recorded the the console as well as the business end of this steam driven musical instrument. They keep the console inside and the pipes are outdoors. If you look close you can see how they can enclose the instrument in order to protect it from the weather. I have one question.... What is the operator called? A Calliopist? (The Rock River Thresheree has been an annual; event since 1956. I would describe the Thresheree as a type of living history museum where an incredible amount of exhibits are often portable and interactive. Steam machinery that could easily be one hundred years old is seen throughout the large fairgrounds which are located just south of Edgerton Wisconsin. There is an emphasis on agriculture as seen by the large quantity of decades old farm tractors but there are also harvesting machines and many smaller engines. Other sights include the working steam train; "The Rock River Cannonball, a sawmill powered by a steam tractor, and several large sheds that house incredibly huge stationary engines. Historic re-enactors host battle re-enactments and the occasional train robbery. However, the most dominant exhibit is probably the steam pile driver. When that machine is running everyone in the area can hear and feel it! I have been to the Thresheree many times in the last fifty years and I would say that it is a worthwhile trip and will be enjoyed by all!)
