[edit] Clean Up

This page could handle some clean up. Sentences such as "The picture on this page is a good example for a modern organ grinder, as he is very well dressed." do not look very appropriate in an encyclopedic format. Also, the Modern Usage section is rather unorganized and almost superfluous. Centrisian (talk) 00:17, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

I agree. This sentence in particular sounds more like opinion than fact: "Often, they would make more money than was earned by the people who made donations. Of course, they dressed shabbily to conceal this fact. City dwellers who needed some measure of quiet for their writings or their scientific reflections could absolutely loathe organ grinders." --DOHC Holiday (talk) 14:43, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
