recent concerts which substituted electronic instruments. See

Don't miss this "Autumn in Maine" Web page! You'll
see 18 images, most with the fantastic Fall foliage of
October 2000. This has nothing to do with Player-piano rolls,
but the pictures you'll see were taken on roads which connect
The ARTCRAFT Studio (Wiscasset), the roll storage building
(Boothbay) and 'ARTCRAFT North' (Searsport) — our "trailer by
the Sea" location on Penobscot Bay, Maine.
