IMPORTANT NOTE: Although a great deal of people download & listen to these pieces of mine, almost NOBODY ever gives me any feedback at all concerning them! PLEASE take a few seconds to drop me a note to say if you liked what you heard - that's all I ask for all my efforts! (elwoodherring©blueyonder.co.uk)


NOTE ON PLAYING MIDI FILES: All my MIDI works are meant to be played using the standard Microsoft GS Wavetable. Usage of any other wavetable will give unintended results. By all means experiment if you have the capability, but please be aware that what you end up with will not be what I intended!
Also, some MIDI files played on Winamp before version 5.3 will not play correctly. If you use Winamp, please upgrade to the latest version (5.3 or above).

Popular  By popular demand, I have also sequenced the famous "Gallery" theme tune from the 60's children's TV series "Vision On". I wanted a copy of this for my Album Covers page, but I couldn't find a decent version anywhere on the Net so I made this one myself. It's a faithful note-perfect reproduction of the original piece, including the seldom heard coda at the end.

The second link here is the same piece but with some extra embellishments I decided to add to it. I suppose this is always how I sort of imagined the piece to continue, as it was rarely heard in its entirety on the show.
