Dear MMDers,  Because of playing piano for the Robert Osborne
Classic Film festival, I got to meet a Hollywood producer affiliated
with a major studio who asked (practically begged!) for my memoir,
which deals in depth with both automatic musical instruments and
spirituality (and an Oscar-winning actress has expressed interest!)
It is now nearly completed, but I intend to publish it as a paper
And e-book, first, before sending it to anyone.

As I grew up a short bicycle ride from Harvey's (first visiting in
1964), and he was a "second father" to me, I am seeking good, clear
photos (credited if desired) which show panoramic views of (a) the
reproducing piano room, (b) the upstairs music room, and (c) the
downstairs music room.

Clean pictures of individual instruments (or portions of rooms) are
also greatly welcomed.

Thanks!

P.S. If someone could please provide photos from the Roehl collection
tour that was part of a MBSI Convention held in Binghamton in the late
1970's, that might be especially helpful as they may show me (and/or
my tiny little sister) demonstrating the machines.  (I had very long
hair at the time.)  I am also interested, though not as direly, in a
copy of the box-ad I ran in, I believe, the February 1978 AMICA Journal
(maybe January or March) to dispose of my first hoard of automatic
pianos.
