I hope you are settled back in since your return from Chicago and Atlanta. Since we last spoke, I have enjoyed viewing and reading about some of your incomparable inventory. I can only imagine how it feels to be surrounded by so much beauty and history on a daily basis.

Of course if I ever were in need of another piano, it certainly would have to play itself like the Weber & Co. in your blog, as I am musically inept.

I look forward to speaking with you in the near future.

Lyndon

Thank you for that. I treasure the music box because it was such an important part of my mother’s and my history.
Yes, one of his army air corps buddies mentioned it because my father borrowed the $50 to buy it! When we walked in there 25 years ago and heard the music boxes playing, we understood why – it was just plain magical!
Many thanks – hope to return to the store someday.
Gratefully,
Janna
