The Peterson beer powered organ. Its like being the conductor of a well trained ensemble of jug playing hillbillies. (with sound samples)

Peterson has realized his dream and I salute him with a drunken belch. Wouldn't that be the perfect accompaniment? All the fellows who drank those beers in a belching choral arrangement, doing Christmas favorites.
It reminds me of a place I visited at a very young age (or perhaps I dreamt it) called Organ Powered Pizza. They had all sorts of instruments wired to one central organ: trumpets, drums, cellos, nearly an orchestra (as I vaguely remember). Does anyone remember this place? Or am I quite mad?

If they put this into mass production, and need someone to empty bottles for use in these instruments, I am available for a nominal fee.

They don't actually use beer in the bottles - a mineral oil is used to avoid constant re-tuning due to evaporation.
But still, it looks damn cool.

That was cool. How come no version of the "Beer Barrel Polka?"
Oh. well if they ever run short of bottles, I'll be happy to empty a few for them.
