In October, 1979, the first piano roll was punched on the Custom 
Music Rolls perforator designed and built by Richard.  Now, 33 years
later, due to health issues, Richard and I have had to make the
difficult decision to cease operations.

As part of the sale of business assets, all music files created by
Custom Music Rolls have been included as part of the sale to Ed Gaida
in San Antonio, Texas.  Should at any time you desire copies of files
we created for you, or music rolls produced by your files, please
contact Ed.  His contact information is

and support over these past years.

 [ Richard is one of our original MMD subscribers, going back to the
 [ premiere Digest of April 17, 1995.  His music roll copying system
 [ of 1979 used a salvaged Interdata minicomputer with 16 kilobytes(!)
 [ of magnetic core memory and 8-level punched paper tape for data
 [ storage.  See http://www.mmdigest.com/Archives/Authors/Aut17.html
