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.)
