Subject: Archive photos and film footage
Mr. Waters - I contacted you some months ago regarding a documentary film project I am pursuing about player pianos and player rolls. The film is progressing quickly with new participants and information. The QRS company in Buffalo, New York, has invited me to their facility to film the manufacturing process they use, and Butch Thompson (piano player, and leader of the "Prairie Home Companion" orchestra) has also agreed to participate.
I am currently searching for archival photos and film footage that feature player pianos. I am wondering if you know of any footage (old news reels, instructional films, advertisements) that I could use in the film. I would appreciate any advise or help you could offer the project. Perhaps a fellow enthusiast would know where to look. If you could, please spread the word. Thank you for your time.
Kind regards - Hayden Grooms
