Introduction
By Jack M. Conway
Jody has asked how I heard about The Automatic Music Digest and to introduce myself. I read about the Digest in the MBSI July/August 1996 News Bulletin article "On Line." I had just corrected my password so that I could receive email and thought I would give it a try. I have already read the last two weeks of digests and am hooked.
I have taught printing for 34 years in a Los Angeles inner city school. My music collection ranges from disc and cylinder phonographs to disc and cylinder phonographs, to player and reproducing pianos, to nickelodeons and orchestrion, to book, roll, cob, and disc organs, a calliope, band organ, and Reproduco pipe organ. I am a member of AMICA and AMICA So. Cal., MBSI and MBSI So. Cal., ATOS and LATOS. I have taken instruments to the First and Second Annual AMICA Southern California Chapter Band Organ Festivals.
I have been doing research on Wurlitzer music rolls and have reprinted quite a few labels for my APP., 150, and Pianino rolls which had missing or damaged labels.
Thanks for letting me join the group!
