Player Pianos in the Old West Myth
By Brice Willis

Dear Mike,  If you got a chance to watch the fairly recent HBO series
"Deadwood", there was a player piano and much to-do about getting it
delivered to Deadwood.  Several scenes followed with it playing, and
there was a lot of background music from it during the balance of the
series.  Watch it if you get a chance, but be aware of the rating --
it was very graphic!

Regards,

Brice Willis - Old West Trading Post
