The passing of Mr. Durrell Armstrong got me thinking if there was
a Mechanical Music Hall of Fame he would surely have a spot in it.
So how about a Mechanical Music Hall of Fame web page that would
feature those individuals who have made giant contributions to the
hobby.  The first year, twelve people get inducted and then four
or so annually thereafter.  Nominations could be counted up from
emails or automated somehow.  Of course I hesitate suggesting
anything that would create more work for Jody, Robbie or whoever.
Keep up the good work & Happy New Year.

 [ the Automatic Music Hall of Fame at Mechanical Music Digest,
 [ so named to emphasize that the site is about the personalities
 [ involved in the self-playing ("automatic") musical instruments
 [ industry.  Suggestions are welcome.  -- Robbie
