About Truman L. Jayne:
First, I'm not a musician, unless you count playing the clarinet in the junior high school band about 40 years ago.  However,  I can read music which helps me do the midi sequences.  I'm at a great handicap not being able to play the keyboard.  I have to enter all music with a mouse (note by note),  and somehow it just never sounds as good as the real thing (a live midi recording),  no matter how I manipulate it  with a sequencer. Comments will be welcomed at  my guest book.

About Bud Black:
I am a professional entertainer playing banjo, guitar and singing the songs of yesterday on the steamboat Delta Queen out of New Orleans.  I am also a collector of old phonograph records and sheet music from the "Jazz Age." and have many hundreds of both in my collection.  I am currently using Passport's Musictime program to transcribe some of my old sheet music into midi format.  Since I work on a riverboat I am seldom home, but when I do get off the boat for a few weeks I find this midi converting a great second hobby. I want to try to preserve much of these all but forgotten tunes, and this is the best way I know how to do that. Feel free to Email me at any time and share your interest in "old time" music.
