I can report from Down Under that 1999 is fine and warm!  Chaos reigns
here with my son's wedding tomorrow. The Mighty Wurlitzer (not quite
complete but ready enough) will play the Lohengrin and Mendelssohn
Wedding Marches played via Internet [ not yet in real time ;-) ] by
Robbie Rhodes.  The newly acquired Decap Cafe Organ (two-thirds of it -
the rest hasn't arrived yet) beckons enticingly from the space previously
occupied by my car.

And yesterday, thanks to Bob Loesch of Northern California, I bought
by 'phone an Italian coin-operated clockwork barrel piano: I'm always
a sucker for a basket case!

The happiest of New Years to all Digesters.
