"Thank you for the time you have spent. This old jazz lover is finding a smaller world to listen in. The "music" my 15 and16 year olds listen to is about to drive me to drink. Come to think of it, a small glass with ice, two fingers high would be just right to sip and listen to my sub woofer pound out the low sounds of your collection. Thanks for your preservation effort." Jim Swaidner
"This is amazing what you do with MIDI. One might have thought it is music for machines. More power to you, don't lose the faith. Hope you don't mind if I link a song or two to a professional Chopin pianist home page." Yvonne

" I visited all three of your sites. I started with the Jazz (loved it) and that led me to the Unclassic Classics (marvelous) and on to the Piano Works (superb). I'm not a musician, in fact I think that I may have a tin ear ;-) but I love (good) music and really enjoyed yours." Don Henley
Visit Don Henley's page of out-of-the-ordinary views at: http://www.don-henley.com/" Hello from Montreal. Que. I am sending you this message to thank you for the wonderful music you play.

Hope know that I have your URL to listen more of it. See you again and many thanks for that." Doris.
"In The Mood overrides everything but I enjoyed the visit anyway." Gordon W. Slade
"Hello there, Just found your site and love it. I have been looking for something like this since I got my computer in January. I am looking for a piece and the only thing I can tell you is that the popular song from it is 'Story of Three Loves'. I cannot remember the composer and think it is the 18th movement of something. I heard it in 1952 and haven't heard it since. Thank you for the beautiful music." Kitty
(Do you have any clue about the song Kitty is searching for? E-mail me if you do! JC)" Best wishes from Québec I was fortunate enough to listen to your music on the site of Agena Village (André Phaneuf who loves so much what you do). Listening to it was a pleasure to my ears contrary to what I usually listen on internet. Keep up the good work, and let me be the spokewoman for those who appréciate your work but are too lazy to let youknow." Raymonde Lapierre
" Loved your site...so easy to use. Wish they were all set up like yours. I was looking for something more along the lines of Lara's Theme. Enjoyed it though." Sheila Michael.
"Jeanne, Your site is a real musical delight. Thanks for the pleasure. Right now, I'm listening to your Elegie of Sergei Rachmaninov. Beautiful interpretation. Do you have the famous Prelude of Rachmaninov? I found one on the Net but it is awful; my father played it so well. I remember every note....." Andre.
(Well, I did happen to have the score of what Andre wanted, and you can hear it at: http://www.microtec.net/~aphane/aldege.htm -JC)"Hi Jeanne,I just wanted to let you know I really enjoy your music. I wanted to let you know I have placed a link to your site from "My Music Links" page. Have you ever sequenced the Dave Brubeck song, "Take Five"? Also liked the "Blue Rap", actually I liked all your music. Would you allow me to use your music from time to time as background music on some of my pages? Keep up the good work, I'll be looking forward to new additions to your page."Jim Brent. Visit Jim at:http://www.jimbrent.com/
(I've sequenced most of Take-5...but the piece was composed by Paul Desmond to showcase Brubeck's dummer Joe Morello...and I'm no mean drummer at all. Any MIDI dummers out there who'd like to collaborate on the famous drum solo?!!!??? - JC)" Dear Madame, First of all, I've heard about you as a wonderful MIDI music creator by a virtual friend of mine, meaning that we are some kind of fans of yours !!! I am a French-Canadian poet living in Montreal, Quebec. I am well known on the French part of the web by those interested in French poetry. Just an idea I just had, and wondering if you might be interested, that is, your music accompanying my poetry. Who knows where it could lead in the future !" Huguette Bertrand.

My contributions aren't in place yet. But, I'm working on them - JC)Hi Jeanne: I am very impressed with your web site and your original midi music scores. I am playing "Fever" right now, sounds great... I am looking for some background midi music for my web site, something with the sounds of the ocean or nature mixed with instrumental.
