The Ballad of Harry Chamberlin and the Surreptitious Window Cleaner |
An old inventor once said: |
«Window cleaners see many things, so keep a watchful eye on them.» |
Harry Chamberlin had a big idea while playing on his Hammond Organ at home in |
California |
He thought, «Why can’t I press a key and hear, an orchestra?» |
A clarinet? |
A flute? |
A vibraphone? |
A violin? |
A harpsichord? |
A slide trombone? |
So Harry set to work with a screwdriver and a dream, and in a few years of |
tinkering had completed the Chamberlin Machine |
With a tape recording of a real instrument for every key, the orchestra in a |
box was a reality |
Now everyone can have a big band in their home |
Now everyone can have a big band in their home |
Franson the window cleaners coming to town |
He is looking to expand his horizons |
Oh, Harry you had better watch out |
Franson is blown away by Harrys invention |
He offers to become the salesman |
And take the Chamberlin to the nation |
Who’s that man? |
Bill Franson |
Who’s that man? |
Bill Franson |
Harry, he never understood rock and roll |
His heart belonged to the big bands now |
And the Chamberlin was built for the lounge |
Who’s that man? |
Bill Franson |
Who’s that man? |
Bill Franson |
Bill soon grew tired of Harrys lack of ambition |
He saw an opportunity and so began his mission |
Unknown to Harry he took a boat to England with two Chamberlins rebadged as |
Franson |
He would find someone to imitate and refine Harrys design |
He would construct and sell the Franson Mk. |

And Bill would make his fortune |
