Sample Ragtime Midi Files Promised

Dear Jody;

Thanks for the enthusiastic response. Yes indeed, I would appreciate the info on the MBSI to advertise. Now that the third CD is out, I can offer the three as a set. They are:

1) Our Favorite Rag (U. of Wisc Eau Claire Symphony Band) 2) Wake Up, America! " 3) Ragging the Baby to Sleep (Los Angeles Pierce College Symphonic Winds)

All are $18.00 postpaid, first class shipping within the USA.

Please let me know what you think of both the music and the liner notes, should you order any. All come with a 100% refund guarantee. Anybody who likes orchestrion and band organ music will play them to death- this is the music both band organs, orchestrions and the full 88-note arrangements imitated!

Yes, please- I have been a triple-barreled name user since I was a kid. Plus it helps discern me from "the other Steve Goodman" the country song writer who died a few years ago (the rumor of my death...etc.!)

I'd like to do more than visit the 30-A; I have a recording project in mind featuring both the rags in his collection as well as some of my own numbers. When I get a moment I'll give Mike a call. As soon as I can find a spare moment (what's that??) I'll upload a couple of midi file samplers of some of my numbers. I'm convinced that the automatic musical instrument of the future is midi composition aimed at the home user/multimedia enthusiast. Just think...ragtime is once again on the cutting edge of technology!
