A customer sent me a couple of MIDI files that he made with my styles. He wanted to know if he owed me any royalties if he fleshed them out and made a recording of it. I told him my styles are tools, and anything you make with my styles is royalty free as long as you don't give the style itself away. He's from France, his English is minimal, my French is even less so I thought I'd ask here instead of asking him. In the beginning of each song are the usual assignments pitch bend, cc 7 (track volume) cc11 (expression), cc10 (pan), cc64 (sustain pedal) and so on. Looking at his file I see these in sequence cc 100=0 cc 101=1 (in another file cc 101=2) cc 6=64 Now I know that if both cc100 and 101 =0 and are followed by cc6 the cc6 denotes pitch bend range But what if cc101 = 1 or 2? I'm hoping to learn something here (I googled and failed) Thanks, Notes

Sorry to hear that. What brand did you use? I've been using them since Windows XP and have never lost one byte.

Can't have too much Stan Getz either:

Knights In White Satin

"Cage The Songbird" - Elton John

It's hard to do but you can have too much beer. On the other hand, you can't have too much music.

S.L.I.P. cut that out or you'll get a stiff neck

Do You Believe In Miracles - Slade

You can use an internal drive as a USB external drive with a dock. The drives pop in and out like a toaster and you can use either size internal drive. The internal drives made for computers are rather dependable (more than those tiny USB things) and you can have a dozen drives and pop them in or out as needed (of course doing a USB eject first).

The guitar must be in trouble because it is high strung

Feet Don't Fail Me Now - Utopia

Almost anything fried tastes better fried in becan fat

Well Brother Love is a Preacher or a Priest at the Salvation Show. Sympathy for the Devil - Rolling Stones One of my favorites of the Stones

Thanks for that. This sax player has never heard of Emil before, and will definitely listen to more. On the subject of "Stolen Moments" IMO Mark Murphy is one under-rated singer and this cut features The Muse All-Stars with the great Richie Cole on alto sax. Stolen Moments - Mark Murphy

Brother Love's Traveling Salvation Show - Neil Diamond The arrangement and the backing band are ear candy to me, and it's a good song too.

We've Got The Beat - The Go-Gos

Gigday Gigday Gigday That's all that matters at the moment !!! ?

Jump Into My Fire - Etta James From the "7 Year Itch" album IMHO some of her best work with a great backing band.

Der is as close as I can get Der Kommissar - After The Fire

I like cheese.

Sunday Will Never Be The Same - Spanky & Our Gang

I've used nothing but ThinkPads since I discovered them in 2002. I've got newer ones to do more serious work with. A 2002 computer just doesn't have enough power and memory to handle a lot of modern programs. But on stage all it has to do is play mp3 files, display rtf files, and load Encore for notation. The computers ride around in the van all day, quickly cool off or heat up on the gig (depending if it's indoors or out), bounce on a keyboard stand for 4 hours, then back in the van. Only to do it again and again and again. The replacement arrived today, and I'm charging the battery (they recommend to charge it 8 hours before running - that's probably not necessary but I've got a lot to do anyway, I'm in the middle of making a new Band-in-a-Box style). The zucchini/lentil mac and cheese looks OK. Notes

I got my lunch. So what are you all going to eat?
