I'm Al Goldstein, (Allen A.) Editor of the Pandora collection at Ibiblio.org. I'm not related to Al Goldstein, former Editor of Screw magazine. However I'd like to thank 6 other related Goldsteins who have contributed to this collection.

They are my wife Martha Goldstein, and grandchidren: Ben (wife Jeanette Ekornaasvaag), Elias (wife Roxanna Pavel) and Hans. I'm also grateful to Bill McColl for hours of his time. Much would be missing without his help. I'm very grateful to the dedicated musicians, programmers and linguists at Wikipedia, in particular, Graham87 and Magnus Manske, who have well suceeded in presenting our music. Also to contributors of "Youtube" using Martha's music files as the basis of videos, and for the videos of the Soni_Ventorum. The following pix are of 3 geezers in their middle years. <p>
