The quality of what you hear here will depend
considerably
on your sound setup. With superior wavetable setup (DB50XG)
and connected thru my Pioneer amp and Bose speakers
they sound pretty cose to CD Quality as I produce them...
but your system may sound differently!
My primary purpose here is to present the more melodic
music of our earlier times in a somewhat attractive, highly listenable
web format...if you really like the song, seek
out and buy a
professionally made recording!

I determined early that I wouldn’t
clutter this with ads or links, for anybody - thus being fair to all. There
is one exception I must now make... MidiMaster and author Paul Leung had
so much to do with getting me started in Midi that I feel I owe him bigtime!
His latest version is incredible and even has a new name...
