  OFFICE MEMO¶          Introduction¶                           Date:8/8/95

Well, here goes:  My name is Nada Lingel, which is pronounced Neigh' duh not
Naw duh for all you spanish speaking folks.  The last name rhymes with jingle.
 I am a member of MBSI and learned about this group from the MBSI bulletin.
Although I am a complete novice at computer stuff (if it isn't Mac I don't
understand it) and music boxes, I decided to give it a go.  I asked Jody to
send me everything that you folks had previously "said", to which I received a
reply like "OK  -- here goes".  After reading it all, I must say that I
deserve the nickname of idiot not midiot!  Alot of what I read is Greek to me,
but I am going to keep reading right along, and hope that some of it sinks in.
 So here finally is my introduction.   I own only one antique music box - a
20.5" disk box.  I love ALL of the antique music makers from player pianos to
juke boxes, and hope to learn to repair them and to have more of them around
someday.  I live in Oregon where I teach at a College of Optometry, which
takes most of my waking hours.  My husband, Dennis also teaches here, and
although he doesn't love the same type of musical machines as I do, he puts up
with my fascination for them because he is equally fascinated with guitars.  I
had previously "surfed the internet" looking for a group to talk about antique
music makers, so was thrilled to learn that this existed.  Thanks to all of
you who were instrumental (no pun intended) for making it happen, and thanks
for allowing me to join in.¶
