Thought I had an old roll of 'La Madelon'.  I sold lots of old rolls
some time back so I guess it went with those.

Still curious about the tune, I searched the TuneDex and found the
melody line for "Madelon".  Its written by Camille Robert and has the
sub-title "I'll Be True to the Whole Regiment".  (What does
'co-quettes' mean?  Is it naughty in French?)

Is this the same tune?  I played it into my XP-80 and it didn't sound
familiar, so (I don't play well) I moused it into Cakewalk.  I still
did not recognize the tune.  It does sound like it would make a good
tune for calliope.

We will have a new 53 note calliope (Dave Miner is building it) in mid-
August, and I am trying to round up some music for it.  The thing will
play A-rolls, and I will install the UM-1 processor from Laurent Coray
and use Larry Broadmoore's MIDI valves.

How do we know when the subscription is due?
