Hi MMD,  For several years I have had a relationship with the Asian
Affairs Center at the University of Missouri.  One to two times per
month they ask me to host tours of Asian visitors through my mechanical
music museum.  This morning I hosted a group of 25 Chinese visitors.
These are very bright people and always ask very good questions,
through an interpreter, of course.

They were interested in everything from the reproducing grand pianos
to the nickelodeons, but were really fascinated by the MIDI-fied 6-rank
pipe organ.  I have a VanBasco Karaoke system on the computer and it
was interesting to hear some of the Chinese sing along to "Are You
Lonesome Tonight" as it came up on the monitor.

The translator then had a question from a couple of visitors, "Do you
have any Chinese music?"  I had to answer that if I ever found any it
would have to be in a MIDI format that is arranged to play on a pipe
organ.  Does anyone reading this have any knowledge of the existence
of any MIDI files of Chinese pipe organ music?

Thanks,
Tom Hutchinson
