I sort of found an old track of indeterminate age, and thought I'd

mystery.
It would have been possible to keep listening to the original audio
to (slowly)
piece it together, but that was more tedious than I fancied. At this
point I
didn't know just how old it was - the audio had a file date in 2010,
but I
suspected it was older. Eventually I remembered I had a compressed
archive of
my very early pre-linux work, and there it was!
Well, it is a not quite kosher MIDI file. This has the last modified
date in
1994, so indeed older than I though. Importing it into Rosegarden
produced a
lot of strange bits of tracks separated from the actual notes, and no
sign of
track names, but it was enough to get started. That was about a month
ago. I
now have the entire recording, expanded and reproduced with Yoshimi
(the
original would have been a mix of Sound Canvas and SY22).
So here it is. Personally I find it quite difficult to keep still
while it's
playing :)

Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.
This is delightful, Will, thank you for sharing. I love the low-
pitched rhythm and the way you let each instrument take the melody.
