Calliope Music
on CD
new CD released 8/24/2008 |
Tracy Heaston has been involved
with music and the circus since he was a small child. He Played the calliope
for the first time under Merle Evans at age 11 when the Ringling Bros. and
Barnum & Bailey Circus came to Los Angeles in 1969. Tracy has a B.A. in percussion
instruments. He has been featured in many parades, circuses, fairs, radio
commercials and movies. He is noted for his feather touch on the Calliope.
Calliopes were originally steam-pressured instruments in which each valve
released steam to a different sounding pipe. Tracy's Calliope was first purchased
for a river boat. The Cotton Blossom has been rebuilt and put back into service,
operated now by a gas-powered blower. Very few of these rare instruments are
still in existence. They are used today only on special occasions and expositions.
