Hello all,  Many of you in the player piano world, especially in the
UK, will be shocked to hear of the death of Alan Rothery.  He was a
player-piano dealer located in Doncaster in Yorkshire.  One of our
friends, Steve Greatrex, paid him a visit on Wednesday and during the
visit, he complained of feeling unwell so he was helped to bed.  He
suffered a massive heart attack in the night.

He was a typical Yorkshireman, very blunt, and didn't mince his words.
He called a spade a bloody shovel.  But he will be missed by many
over here.
