ah, kat..I try to be penurious and use ONE page for TWO pictures, and look where it gets me! Ya gotta scroll down for Shula..they are both there..I just named the page link 'banjer', and then decided not to give hime a whole page to himself, since he only sent one pic so far(he says he may get more..and Shula will have more too, I guess. I am not getting the new arrangement done very fast...just too much 'life' right now.But I do see that it IS a bit confusing there..maybe I'll just move Shula and assume new pics are coming soon..(Hey, Max, wanta give lessons? *big grin*)

Hey, Bill,

As long as I'm bein' re-located, could you just *shrink* the consarn, dadblinkin' thing a mite? Much obliged.

Shula

Oh, and [aside to] Joe,

Akiba found several songs and maps you left in our copy of RUS. Sorry we didn't notice before; you pretty much wore out our poor old pipes, so we didn't fetch the book out again until this evening. Hope you weren't inconvenienced, and how would you prefer to have them sent?

S&A

all you do is email a pic to me at [e-mail]...and wait..I may get it up in one day, or two weeks...(busy season around here)

be sure to identify yourself and let me know what, if anything, you want said about you beside the pic..(some use real names, some dont...some say very little, some say a lot...) so far, space in not a big issue...we will see how it goes..

Ryan, you are a very handsome young man, and a very talented one also. Perhaps the Mudcatters will be playing cd's with your name on them in the very near future. I hope so. Lots of luck to you.

Blessings Reta

P.S. Alice, you have a lovely, talented son.

Alice,

One of my favourite pieces of modern music is called Music for a Found Harmonium. I don't know why it's called that, but I assume (rightly or wrongly) that it was composed on a harmonium. It was performed by the Penguin Cafe Orchestra for the Australian film called Malcolm (about 20 years ago, maybe. Very funny film.)

Anyway, you can find the midi file at this site.

It sounds complicated when you hear it but when you look at the music notation on a software program it looks fairly simple - all in the repetitions of patterns of notes. I have heard an Irish Australian friend of mine play it on an Irish bouzouki and it sounds fantastic. I thought Ryan might like to hear it.

Thanks, Helen, I have the music notation for 'Music For A Found Harmonium' (from the internet) and I have played through it a few times... I spend music practice time more on voice than the harmonium, but Ryan is now back in orchestra and violin lessons since his collar bone is mended. He missed playing violin in January and February because of the injury. He's concentrating on the violin, but he does still play the harmonium once in awhile, since it is always right there next to the couch and piano!
