Clara-Belle the Calliope
I am an electric-powered circus calliope, living in a 10' x 7' x 7' circus style trailer. PLEASE READ MY BIOGRAPHY. Brash Red with Gold Accents
I can be pulled along and be played while in a parade, using my battery power, or I can be plugged in and play as long as you like.
Tommy found me a new, safer home in a bigger barn owned by two beautiful new friends, Faith and Daniel, who I must say, is kinda cute, even with his safety mask.
I was SO happy that my Thommy took me out on the fourth of July, and Danny tickling my ivories was special as we played in our own parade on Plainfield's Main Street, then over across town in the Meriden neighborhood, and around the Cornish Flat. Thank you everyone who smiled at me !

Dale Ziegenfelder’s pipe dream
A man after my own heart....
hudsonvalleyone.com His desire for an in-house pipe organ was triggered when he was a high school senior in 1969. It took most of his lifetime and nearly superhuman attention to detail to make that wish come true.

I'm finally out of the barn and on my way to perform in the West Lebanon (NH) High School Alumni Parade. It will be good to have my old friend Jack play me, but I'm really going to miss not having my Thommy there.
I have 141 fans here on Facebook. My goal ? 500 by the end of the year.
I'll be in the West Lebanon High School Alumni Parade on Saturday, May 24th, played by my sweetheart, Jack Snyder. Hope you can make it.
I'm freezing here in the barn, isn't winter over yet ?
