My name is Stephanie Ion. I am very interested in a possible chat or email regarding Michael’s collection of antique sheet music and the Great American songbook. I own a piano dated from 1896 and my family has been collecting sheet music since. I have been told over and over that no one cares really about sheet music here in Florida. But I have hundreds of pieces that could either be of use to Michael or I would love to know if he could instruct me on how to preserve it. A couple of pieces from 1896 are disintegrating. It’s fascinating to see the country progress through the eyes of these pages. I don't want them to be lost. Help save my music. Please have a wonderful New Year and as my mantra goes, “Remember what makes your heart sing, your soul can’t dance if its song has been forgotten”. Love and Light, Stephanie Ion
