Disklavier

I'm located in the frozen tundra of the United States--the Midwest.  My
problems?  I can't my Disklavier to do what I want.  I was told that
there were tons of MIDI files "out there" to download to play on my
Disklavier.

I was told that there was rock, blues, jazz, country--and that not all
piano music for the Disklavier is classical.

Well after nearly a week of searching, buying software to edit,
constant e-mail messages, and paying a piano technician $65 to help
me--I've discovered that there really isn't much recorded in MIDIS that
features the piano as lead.  And that it's difficult, at best, to edit
in order to force the piano to play the melody.

That's all.

Try this link.  It's a limited number of tracks but they were recorded on a
Disklavier and require no additional user intervention:

I am in the REAL tundra north of you.
Try the vault - http://www.egroups.com/docvault/disklavier/ go thorough the midis there - the
sc23*.zip files have quite a few midis.
If you want a midi of a song that you know has a lot of piano use a search engine and you will
find it.

I am living in the tropical part of the United States in the Rio 
Grande Valley and ready to jump in my pool because it is here 89 
degrees.
I can do with my disklavier what I want it to do. There are tons
of midi files I can download and play on my disklavier. 
There is a lot of rock, blues, jazz and country.
I pay my pianotechnician only for tuning.
I can also force my piano to play the melody. But I have a computer
and software, a PowerMac and Encore from G Vox, and I know
how I have to use both computer and software.
I purchesed my brand new disklavier the black upright MX- 100A in April
1991 nearly nine years ago for 6500 dollars with a trade in for my old
acoustic Baldwin piano that I bought in 1981 for about three thousand
dollars, so all together about 9500 dollars. The only trouble
I ever had was a broken string that had to be replaced and a few burned
out fuses, because I played quatre mains (four handed) 
pianomusic with too many notes, too loud for the fuses. Mia culpa! 
I was to blame for it.
So I can honestly say that I have no problems worth mentioning.
May be the reason is that I drink no wine, but only water from
the Rio Grande. However to be on the safe side I filter it first.
