John McTammany, Mechanical Music Pioneer

-- non-subscriber, please reply to sender and MMD --

I am a descendent of John McTammany.  I currently have two of his books
autographed to his nephew, John McTammany of Akron, Ohio.  We are also
in possession of his letters to my great-grandfather.  Just thought
you might want to know.
