Andrew,

There are several ways to find MIDIs; it just depends on how much time you want to devote to the search. But the nice thing about searching is that you find other stuff along the way.

1)check the Digitrad. Type in the song title. Many times there is a one-line melody MIDI (or several) to go along with the words. Search the forum for a thread with the song title. When SuperSearch is back, you can search the bodies of the messages in the forum.

2)If it's folk/traditional try Lesley Nelson's site http://www.contemplator.com/folk which also has Barry Taylor's MIDIs and a nice search engine.

3)Use The MIDI Search Engine http://www.musicrobot.com which will give you lots of arrangements for fairly well-known songs.

4) Use a search engine to search for link:nameofmidi.mid

I very quickly found "Five Minutes More" (actual name is "Give Me Five Minutes More but the MIDI is often named fivemin.mid)here using the MIDI Search Engine.

I found another jazzy version using Altavista.

Whew, good luck.

Mary
