I used the "EMBED" HTML command to play some midi music when this page loads. It works with Internet Explorer 6, but is inconsistent with Netscape.
You should be hearing one of my all time favorites - "Honky Tonk Train
Blues" by Meade Lux Lewis, circa the 1940's (when I first heard it). This
is a midi rendition of it. The original Meade Lux Lewis version is below.

While in High School in '42-'43, I became keenly interested in
Boogie Woogie piano. Here are some 78 RPM selections that I still have from
that era. These old "wax" records are quite noisy.
