Introduction
By Richard Danzey
I have subscribed to this list and Jody asked me to send this note. I love music. I have no musical aptitude. I have worked with tools and machines since I was a boy. Unfortunately I have less aptitude for that than I'd like. Anyway, machines that make 'real' music seems an appropriate interest to me.
Over the holidays I witnessed an impromptu recital on a poorly tuned Steinway upright, by a lady, bless her, who hadn't played for many years. It was wonderful. I decided to try to acquire a piano and one of those machines that roll up to it and 'play' it. That's why I joined this list. A brief search on the net -- isn't that true progress? -- showed me I've much to learn. So I'm looking forward to lurking here for awhile. I'm not especially shy, so I'll pipe up if I see something I'd like to ask about. But I'd prefer to listen for awhile.
Thanks for participating in this activity. It represents a high form of connectivity via the internet, not heretofore possible, and who knows what will evolve from here?
