The music still lives and will live on forever!! 

Here are some popular tunes from our era.

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

and the heartbeat of our generation.

 

These are in the MIDI format (electronic), but most are well done!!

 

Turn up the volume!!

Some of these pieces are SLOW AND SWEET, and some really MOVE!!!

Memories are made of these...

     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.
