Death of Dan Wilson, London
By Paddy Handscombe

MMD subscribers will be sad to learn that contributor Dan Wilson
died on 26 December last.

Dan was a genuine character, well-educated and knowledgeable with
wide interests, who had been involved with the player piano since his
early years.  He was a long-time member of both the Player Piano Group
and the Pianola Institute, giving expert Pianola recitals for both,
especially of jazz, on which he was something of an authority.

Information so far is that his funeral will be restricted to close
friends and family (sister, niece and nephew-in-law), but that a
memorial service will be held in due course for other friends and
associates to attend, and those wishing to be kept informed of
arrangements are invited to register an interest and send condolences
by e-mailing Dan's niece at <dwilz.memserv@hotmail.co.uk>.
