 Subject: Archive photos and film footage

Mr. Waters - I contacted you some months ago regarding a documentary
film project I am pursuing about player pianos and player rolls.  The
film is progressing quickly with new participants and information.  The
QRS company in Buffalo, New York, has invited me to their facility to
film the manufacturing process they use, and Butch Thompson (piano
player, and leader of the "Prairie Home Companion" orchestra) has also
agreed to participate.

I am currently searching for archival photos and film footage that
feature player pianos.  I am wondering if you know of any footage (old
news reels, instructional films, advertisements) that I could use in the
film.  I would appreciate any advise or help you could offer the project.
Perhaps a fellow enthusiast would know where to look.  If you could,
please spread the word.  Thank you for your time.

Kind regards - Hayden Grooms
