Occasionally an entirely new topic, or a completely fresh viewpoint,
arrives at the e-mail in-box of the Mechanical Music Digest.  I almost
wrote this note of pleasure last night upon receiving the fine letter
from Leonardo Perretti.  Today's letters from Jan Kijlstra and Wolfgang
Brommer contain great history, and the promise of learning more history
about the wonderful mechanical musical instruments which have traveled
around the world.

I am very impressed with our publication which Jody created, and I'm
proud of our members articles.  The Digest is a *success*, because of
all you authors!
