Re: [abcusers] what's the problem with the Tune Finder?
Two things I'm looking for which ought to be out there: (1) a tune called The Old Polka, quite often played in Scotland, and (2) the simple Renaissance dance tune (frottola?) Schiarazula Marazula, in four parts, which I thought I had on paper but can't locate now I need it. According to my own Musica Viva Sheet Music Search, you can find the Old Polka at La Taberna: http://www.navegalia.com/hosting/00071/niltoni/index.html Fortunately the TuneFinder came back up - that's a 1.7Mb zip archive on a slow site. There are two versions out there, of a tune I know, but both seem to be different from what I was looking for (a four- section tune). As for Schiarazula Marazula, I seriously doubt there's an ABC of that one on internet, but here's a quick transcription Thanks! There's less going on in the lower parts than I thought there was, but it'll still do fine for what I have in mind (as a first multi-part piece for a children's recorder group). === http://www.purr.demon.co.uk/jack/ === To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html

The machine (trillian.mit.edu) was broken into (despite its being a FreeBSD system ;-), and has been up and down since Sunday as a gang of MIT hackers worked on diagnosing the problem. They say it's back online now, without telnetd, and with recommendations that we all change our passwords, which I did. So if anyone out there has sniffed my password, you'll have to do it all over again now. Things that are on single machines can be unreliable at times. This is especially likely to be true at places like MIT, where there's a firm policy of not having any sort of firewalls. Every machine is connected directly to the Internet, with the intent that MIT people learn as much as they can about security and take care of their own machines. This results in a lot of good resume material, but it can lead to occasional down time when someone finds another exploit. Maybe I should get serious about a couple of backup sites. I do have one on my home machine, but that's where I do most of my development, so you might not want to use it. And it's connected via a cable modem through an ISP that doesn't officially allow servers and is likely to start blocking them at any time. In fact, they are blocking port 80 right now, because of the CodeRed problem. They responded by not just punishing the people who run IIS, but also all of us apache users. My home web server is on a higher port, of course, but still ... To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html
