Barrel Organ Money Collector

In some Dutch cities or towns one still can hear the sound of a barrel organ.

The merry tunes are enhancing the atmosphere there. In order to create a living for the barrel organ man one can contribute a small financial gift that has to be put in a money box.

The sculpture attached to the street organ holds such a money box. The somewhat worn out outfit of this 'man' indicates that a gift is most welcome (😜). A tad manic situation to me however, hence it's my contribution for Manic Monday (Mē).

Wonderful MM post, Cornelius. I love these old sculptures, they give you a warm feeling about one past different time.

Such a wonderful and informative post SEA. I had no idea your country was home to the Barrel Organ.
Great shot and quite the invention.

Nice and colorful image of the Barrel Organ man holding out his "can". A good one for manic Monday Cornelius.
