"I looked at your Black-eyed Susan midi. Actually I think the midi is very clean and could not be written simpler." Well, the midi itself is clean, it's just that this is one of those songs I wish I had someone to sing for me, so I could hear which words are slurred among which notes. Of course, when a human sings, a slid or slurred note is very smooth -- like a slide whistle or trombone. But a midi treats each different pitch as a seperate syllable.

I can usually figure it out after three or four listenings... but it's just disconcerting the first time through.
