Hello Robbie!  Thanks for taking over as relief editor and allowing Jody
some well-deserved time off.

Re Rick Cooley's request for an advertising section: I have been working
on a web page where people can post advertisements for mechanical music
items.  It is not yet finished and I didn't want to announce it until
I was ready to accept ads, so please be patient.

Any transactions made from ads posted on this page would be strictly
between the buyer and the seller.  I am merely hosting the site and
make no guarantees about the merchandise or the vendors.  Robbie
wrote a good commentary on such advertisements and transactions.  To
reiterate, "Let the buyer beware."

If you have any ideas for this page that you would like to share with me,
please e-mail me at the address listed above.

Joyce Brite
