Hi there all you automusicians from England.

First, welcome to the new subscribers from the UK, Jeff and Nina
Borinsky and Dan Wilson.  I am not a member of the Player Piano Group in
London so I cant recall meeting you, I am in the MBSGBI, AMICA and the
North West Player Piano Association.  (And other groups like the George
Formby society) I can hear our American friends say George Who?

Well, my red Welte has finally arrived from the restorer who has done a
good job, It sounds as good as I would have expected.  He had to drill
out more than 100 rusted screws and plug the holes.  It had got a bit
damp in its life.  It came from a farmhouse in Wales.

I did my first deal on the net recently, I bought a Play-a-sax and it
arrived OK.  So it can be done.

Finally, can I add my bit to the Robin resignation saga.  He and I would
have never have known that We both have a Collard & Collard upright
Ampico if it were not for this group.  I rest my case.

All the best from Blackpool.  (Its next to the sea in England, its got a
520 foot tower in the middle)
