The music still lives and will live on forever!!

These were the background beat of our early and teenage years,

Note: You need a good sound card and quality external speakers to
play MIDI files so they sound good!! SoundBlaster sound cards
with Soundfont technology for automatic use with MIDI files are
excellent.
The "Soundfont technology" makes all the difference, improving
the sound quality considerably, and making the instruments sound
more realistic.
These MIDI files sound excellent when played by a SoundBlaster
soundcard with Soundfont technology on quality external speakers.
