Way Back in 1963, Musser. Prices and a letter

There is a vibraphone thread here...

Last summer I acquired a 4.3 Octave Musser Marimba from my aunt she bought in 1963. She saved all the papers and one of them was a catalog that had the price for both the marimba and a Musser Century which were $925, $1150 respectively (pic of catalog page attached). Since the M-55 is not in the catalog, I assume it was made sometime after that.

Shetland's Magical Bus/En cas d'avarie

Hey everyone!

I've been transcribing some Acadian music (from Canada) and hope to learn more during this quarantine time.
Here is one I learned last month. Thanks Tony for the cool vibes ;)

Acadian music and Québécois music (two kinds of traditional music from Canada) have a lot of Irish influence due to a massive Irish migration (1.2 million people!) in the 1800s. This tune is by a band called Vishtèn, from Prince Edward Isle.
