And a fine day it is Steve,

I'd like to include you in the World-wide Technicians Listing or, if you
have a web site, install a link directly to the site from my main index
page (www.playercare.com).

To be 'listed', which is free, please send an e-mail following the
basic example near the top of the Complete Technicians Listing at:
http://www.playercare.com/playtech.html.  You are not limited to the
length of your biography and all e-mail and hypertext links are
highlighted and 'click-touch' active.

I will not edit anything you send so the format is up to you.  I do
run a spell check.  To be 'linked' to a web site, all I need is the name
of the site and the URL.  Of course, it must be player piano related.

Perforators -- the only thing I can suggest is for you to join the
Mechanical Music Digest (MMD at www.foxtail.com).  The over 500 members
receive a daily newsletter, via e-mail, in which the members and editors
write about events and practices in the ever changing world of mechanical
music.  I feel certain there are folks in the MMD who could help you
locate a perforator.  Costs:  I don't know, it's not my field.

I'm c.c.ing this letter to the MMD and perhaps, the editors will allow
your inquiry to act as an introduction.  However, you should still go to
their site and fill out the subscription form.  You'll be glad you joined.
I hope someone in the MMD can help you find what you want.

Musically,
John A. Tuttle
