Hi to the MMDers -- We have succeeded in arousing the interest of the
National Yiddish Book Center in establishing a collection of 88-note
Jewish player piano rolls.  They will get mine once things are more
formally established.  How about others that are out there as well?

Next Item: they also would like to obtain a 88-note player piano.  Is
there one available for sale, or even a donation, to the Center which is
in Amhearst, Massachusetts.  Please let me know.
