Re: [disklavier] Batch 9 Roll Scans

2004-02-09 by Larry McKenzie

Terry - I want to take a moment to thank you for your
troubles.  What you call a shortcoming is merely a
slight inconvenience.  I can't speak for everybody,
but as for myself, I wish to thank you publicly for
your obvious labor of love.  I have spent many hours
working in the office with your midi files playing in
the background as well as listening to them on my
disklavier at home.  As I was growing up we had
relatives with a player piano in their home and
everytime we went to visit I would hit it upon arrival
listening to one roll after another for hours on end. 
I knew that I would someday own one of these fine
instruments for my own.  Well, by the time I got done
growing up the old roll pianos were mostly gone and
technology had taken over.  The only thing missing was
the old time piano roll sound from my youth.  You have
single handedly returned that sound to my life and I
am thankful.  It brings back fond memories everytine I
listen.  Thanks again for all you do.
