Ackerman's Calliope Prepares For Saturday Parade
Ackerman wheels his one of a kind calliope to the Fort Sidney Days parade. A Lincoln native and former bandleader, he repaired a broken instrument in 1950 and later found a Waterbury, Conn. calliope rushed in for the upcoming event. Ackerman, who once led Ackerman's Easy Goin' Jazz Band, maintains ties with old show business associates, including Glenn Miller in early days.
