Let's hold off on that, Zorro. If we can't come up with a tune, maybe you could send it to somebody who can transcribe the tune so we can post it here. I'm afraid my ear isn't that good. I can transcribe freom sheet music or convert MIDI or ABC files, but I can't transcribe by ear.
Now that we're on the way to training people to post lyrics with line breaks <br>, the next step is to get people trained to post tunes. I think there is software that will do the job on just about any computer. Heck, I can even do it on the old floppy-disk Tandy 286 I left with my ex-wife. Alan Foster's MIDITXT works quite well for us who prefer to enter notes on a staff. I have to admit that ABC is also quite learnable, if one gets plenty of bed rest and abstains from red meat and alcohol for a week before attempting it.
I think maybe Martin is going to break down and give us a tune, though.
