- Don't know why I just bothered with typing all that in - if you've got any
- interest in the song at all, you'll know what it all sound like anyway !
-
- So why sequence such a (relatively) obscure song ? Well, it has been used as a
- backing track on stage for the last few years and we've just changed the set
- and dumped all the old stuff, so I thought I'd send it somewhere !
- The fiddle and accordion have been added (as they were previously played live)
- and a bit of artistic licence was used (don't expect a note for note
- transcription). I've yet to find another The The midi file anywhere on the
- Internet (if anyone knows of any - please tell me where)
-
- To follow soon - Uncertain Smile (just as soon as I can work out that piano
- solo) - watch this space.
-
- For obscure files see also DEPMOD1.ZIP - But Not Tonight by Depeche Mode -
- another backing track coming to an Internet near you - SOON.
-
- Please Please Please E-mail me with anything even vaguely responsive re this
- file - don't let apathy overcome you.
-
- This was sequenced on a 2.5Mb Atari ST FM running a (legitimate) version of
- Cubase v.2 via a Yamaha SY22, Casio CZ1000 and played for GMIDI compatability
- on a Roland Sound Canvas SC-55.
-
- Enjoy !
