Updated Mechanical Music Listing
By Paul Johnson
Well folks, here's the latest version of the Mechanical Music Sources listing. I combined the lists produced by Robbie Rhodes and Larry Fisher. I slightly modified Robbie's format, mostly breaking out each of the categories further, figuring there will be enough entries to fill them up in time. I removed duplicate information and updated whenever it was necessary. I've also included the additional entries that were posted in AMI. Please let me know if you have any corrections or comments by August 8th so we can get a clean version to MBSI in time for their next publication date (August 10). Thanks.
Paul Johnson
