Snapshot: Disneyland! - Heavenly Music from Club 33

One last Snapshot! from Disneyland before we return to a more normal routine of posting.

Lillian Disney commissioned the construction of this beautiful harpsichord for Club 33 in New Orleans Square. The hand-painted scene on the underside of the lid depicts a 19th century view of New Orleans.

    I was told that the scene on the instrument was painted by imagineer Collin Campbell. He was layout artist on Lady and the Tramp and layout stylist on One Hundred and One Dalmatians.
