Mechanical Music in Boston?
By Jim Canavan
Next week (10/24-27) I'm going to be visiting Boston, and was wondering if anyone had recommendations on any mechanical music worth seeing in the city (whether in museums, restaurants, bars, whatever!). I won't have a car, so any sites would have to be reachable by bus or "T".
BTW, as a Warner Brother's 'toon fan (and part-time cartoonist myself), I heartily add my vote to Rick Inzero's suggestion that someone record "The Michigan Rag" on piano roll! The only problem I can see is figuring out who owns the tune's copyright...the new "WB" TV network uses it (along with Michigan J. Frog), and I think the cartoon itself is part of Ted Turner's MGM/WB film library...I think cutting the roll would be the EASY part compared to the legal hassles!!!
