Your Funeral and My Trial - Sonny Boy Williamson

While we are the subject ... loosely related

Capriccio Espagnol (Rimsky-Korsakov) - Terra Guitar Quartet

Why do you need this sign in an institution of higher education? And just who can actually do this?

Lipstick On Your Collar - Connie Francis Connie was a neighbor of my grandmother in New Jersey.

Sister Morphine - Marianne Faithfull

I met him when we were doing the Motown gig, and he seemed like a nice guy. The three of them certainly wrote some wonderful songs. Thanks for the tunes, Lamont. Notes ♫

Lisbon Acid - Aphex Twin

Day-O (The Banana Boat Song) - (Traditional Jamaican folk song) - Harry Belafonte

I was in a restaurant and after dinner this little packet was presented to me. Instructions: Open envelope by tearing across the dotted line Remove moist, scented towelette Unfold moist, scented towelette And use. The last line got me. Notes ♫

Signs - Five Man Electrical Band

How clever, a garage and a car wash combination!

Car Pool?

I wanted the https to be in my name, not the web host's. That way if I want to change web hosts, I can take my SSL with me. Same for shopping cart, which is independent from my web host. I don't like being locked it, that way if the service gets crappy, I can change hosts with a minimum of problems. Notes ♫

Money (That's What I Want) - Barrett Strong (the original) Lyrics: All those lean greens, Yeah I got that, uh, that's what I mean

When I started writing aftermarket products for Band-in-a-Box, it was mail order, and they were on 5.25" and 3.5" floppies. I remember going to the post office with a pile of cardboard mailers containing the disks, and paying for postage. When it turned into a software instead of mail-order business, I offered the option to download with no shipping and handling charges, and after about a year, people no longer wanted them shipped via the mail, so I removed that option. Thanks for the heads-up User 905133, I thought I had put that pesky little s everywhere it needed to be. I did a search, page by page for http://www.nortonmusic.com, and replaced with https://www.nortonmusic.com Hmm, that one goes to my cart - so another search and replace is needed. I code the site by hand, as the site got huge, missing a few things is just the nature of the beast. I learned from a book, "HTML In Plain English" and supplemented it with things I discovered on the Internet as the ability to write better pages evolved. Many years ago, when this was still mail-order, a gal who ordered a lot of style disks, used to call on the phone and call me Peter. After a few times of correcting her, I gave up and just went with the flow. I never knew if she thought I was Peter Norton or Peter Gannon of PG Music (Band-in-a-Box) but she liked my work, came back for more, and it was all good. Notes ♫

Close To The Edge - Yes

Did they go by the Norton name back then? My first Mac was a Classic II and never heard of Antivirus software back then. My first Windows was a DOS5/Win3.1 and didn't know about Norton Utilities until a friend turned me on to them. My first serious computer was an Atari/ST with built in MIDI ports (I had a TI99 before that). I started writing styles for Band-in-a-Box, and Peter Gannon, owner of PG Music (BiaB) called one day, asked me to send him an Atari disk, and he would convert it to the IBM (PC) format so I could sell to his biggest market. I was running it as Mail-Order with ads in Keyboard and Music & Computers magazines. So I bought the IBM Compatible DOS5/Win3.1 machine, and later the Mac. I first got on the Internet with an AOL gateway. Then when real Internet came around, I jumped on that. I don't remember when I bought my first AV program, or which brand it was. I'm a Windows user now. I like both, but the StyleMaker for Band-in-a-Box allows me to write better styles on Windows than the StyleMaker in Mac does. The better styles are compatible on both formats. This is no fault of the OS, but PG Music is very Windows-centric. I let the software I need most determine which OS I use. My last Mac was a Power-PC eMac. At that time I still needed a Mac to convert the PC styles to Mac format, but then PG Music standardized the style files and I no longer needed both. Notes ♫
