"Xmas Player Piano" Program for Commodore 64
By Rob Goodale 

Now _that_ is funny!  Just gotta love that blazing 16K clock
speed and mono-polyphony audio chip.  Player pianos themselves are
digital computers and far more advanced then a Commodore 64 trying
to emulate one!  "The paper, (with holes), is mightier then the pen",
if I may wax poetic.

Reminds me of one of my favorite Douglas Adams quotes, (Author of
"Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy"), in reference to a obsolete
computer,  "A mere abacus"!
