Mechanical Music on TV
By Lee Munsick

First we see a player piano being wrecked, then we hear about a TV
program with music boxes as bombs.  Roughly 60 years ago music boxes
were used in a Sherlock Holmes film ("Dressed to Kill", 1946) to send
codes.  Now it's totally destructive.

Odd how art imitates life, and a sad commentary on the changing state
of the world in which we now live.  Horrifying -- and nothing to
indicate it won't get worse.

Happy New Year from Lee Munsick
