Got this email from Bill Perison, who says of his new CD:

The main song that might be of interest to Optigan fans is Uncle John’s Optigan,  about a kid making up songs on an Optigan while visiting his Uncle John.  All the backing track is Optigan loops.  I guess I should clarify that I used samples played back from in Reason and the M-Tron Pro plugin rather than an actual Optigan. I think that the M-Tron folks played with a couple of tempos.  I had a line on getting one but ended up travelling out to Ontario to record this project. Anyway, it was very fun to write this – O how I wish my Uncle really DID have an Optigan – I must say though, his old Lowrey boom-chucka, boom-chicka organ was pretty cool.

I also use Optigan as a rhyme in the 4th verse of Got To Rhyme. That verse goes…..

A leprechaun named Little-John

Was floating on the Amazon

Whereupon he met Yvonne,

A very nice mastodon.

He offered her a sweet bonbon

In the shape of an hexagon

And found she lived in Babylon

With a fawn, and a swan and an old optigan.

No actual optigan sounds in this track though.
