    What a great piece of history. Neat how after all of the time gone by they keep the tradition going. Sort of gives a whole new meaning to the Steam Punk thing. Between Ben's tire pump whistle and the horse fiddle I can see a couple of new groups showing up here.

    Cool stuff Shane and Ben. I really liked York on my first visit this past August and now I like it even more. A city with a tradition of making music from stuff intended for other purposes - what an idea!
