composer. Recently I have been transferring some of my symphonic music from
flaking tape to digital files. You can download some mp3 files

When my typewriter broke 6 years ago, I grudgingly
purchased my first computer at age 53...an ancient used Mac Plus, recommended
for low-tech ageing green hippies such as myself. Four computers, 2 scanners, 2
powerbooks and 3 digital cameras later, I STILL have two unused ribbons left
over from that ol' Smith-Corona.
If an ol' bear like me can pull this
off, imagine what YOU could do for our collective benefit!
