I spoke with Ray Siou yesterday, 13th August, and he still resides
at his old place in Oakland, California, and is in good health.

Ray did a great deal for the piano rolls and their distribution and
you would always get a "rock bottom" price.  The days of $10.00 per
roll are long gone, as we all know.  The price of music roll paper
has increased four to five times in the last seven years or so, which
puts the cost of a 245-foot "O" roll up quite a lot.
