Dear Mr. Rhodes,  I could never imagine that the request I sent to
Mr. Petrak would receive such a response from so many people.  Thank
you very much for your information and for disseminating my message
worldwide.  I hope you will be pleased to know that I received the
following message from Australia:

It certainly is a great experience to share my desire to listen to
my granduncle's music with so many people. I feel this dream will come
true pretty soon, thanks to the friendly people involved in the
fascinating world of piano rolls.

Thank you so much.

Your friend,
Joao Inacio Padilha
