Notes

Original Toronto Star caption: Tickling the ivories? There's nothing organic about this organist but his playing isn't too bad, says Steve Simpson. IRB-6/2, as the robot's called, is more used to arc welding. However, this week he's playing receptionist at a show of robots and computers at the International Centre. The Beatles' Michelle, which it played yesterday, may never sound the same.
