Mechanical Music Youth Scholarship
By Marc Sachnoff

Hi All,  I'd like to second Nancy Fratti's kudos of Jack Perron's
project involving young arrangers for music box discs [160229 MMDigest].
I've been wanting to do something similar for 88-note piano roll
arranging, but the lack of a public venue with a functioning player
piano has been an obstacle.

I will never forget visiting Ingmar Krause in Nuremberg, Germany,
and listening to the young organ grinder's amazing arrangement of
the Heavy Metal song, "Master of Puppets," on an Artona (or similar)
cardboard disk organ!  This is a fun way to involve younger people
in our hobby.

Warmly from stormy Seattle,

Marc J. Sachnoff
