Todd and group,

I don't have much to contribute to the group at this time. I will be contributing when I can get things to slow down here a little. I have been out of town most of the week on business and like most others, I will be busy during the Christmas season.

My musical interests are very broad including jazz, blues, pop, etc. Classical is my main interest at present for I am again taking piano lessons after almost 40 years away from it and my teacher is taking me in that direction currently.

I agree with both Todd and Mike McGregor in that before downloading to the vault, try to get the contributions in order if possible. That is to get the piano to play at a reasonable volume level and on the proper channels. It is time consuming editing either MIDI controller values or ESEQ format in many cases to get things at a 'reasonable' level. However, it is much easier to do it only once rather than everyone either doing it themselves or not enjoying the pieces due to varying differences between songs. By far, most of the songs that I have listened to (which has not been much of the total contributions yet by any means) have been great! We need to try to achieve both quality and then quantity. I cannot speak much myself for I have not had much free time available as of yet for adding to the vault.

Todd has opened this only a week ago and think that setting this up and all that has happened since has been tremendous in such a short time! (Maybe not sainthood Todd, but certainly congrats are in order!)
