Minnesota Public radio's "Pipedreams" (a program typically restricted
to pipe organ music) had a rather unique show titled "A Home for Music"
(Program No. 0112).
"Visit Place de Music, Jasper and Marion Sanfilippo's snazzy residence
north of Chicago to hear Tom Hazleton play the Mighty Wurlitzer Plus,
and explore with curator Robert Ridgeway some of the other marvelous
musical machinery for which the Sanfilippos have an obvious fascination
... Hear a world of music spring to life as we visit a private
collection of marvelous mechanical musical instruments: band organs,
pianolas, a Violano-Virtuoso, and a Mighty Wurlitzer. In the company
of Tom Hazleton and Robert Ridgeway, ours is a special guided tour like
no other of A Home for Music this week on Pipedreams."
A thoroughly enjoyable 90 minutes!!
