The GRAMMY Foundation has announced the availability of funding for
scientific research and archiving and preservation projects of sound
recordings.

Although most people don't think of them as such, player piano and
other music rolls qualify as sound recordings.  If you have a planned
or ongoing research or preservation project for which you need
financial assistance, it may be worth your time to contact the GRAMMY
Foundation for additional information.

Musically,

Joyce Brite - Player Piano and Mechanical Music Exchange
