If you fill in the answers, you can highlight just the above table and print. Just select, Print Selected, then turn it in to the teacher for a grade.

Its time for me to build us a Juke Box. This is going to take some time, since I have to gather the midi files and research them as I go, giving credit where credit is due so bare with me.

Love Letters Straight from My Heart by Elvis. when only love letters could  shorten the distance  of being apart. Mr and Mrs Briggs For now just click on the Juke Box for the tune already loaded. Soon as I can we’ll have a nice functioning java scripted Juke Box you won’t even have to put money in. So be patient with me as I get all the wires together, the tubes to make it work, and a little squirrel that doesn’t mind a little work. If you mouse over a picture sleeve and a brief description pops up, you can click on it for the tune.

So for the time being, take my nickel, click on the record below and see if you can remember the tune. And crank up those speakers. Although the original tune is better, some of these don’t sound so bad.

I could not find all the midi’s to go with the picture sleeves and when I did some just didn’t sound like the original tune. Midi’s leave a lot to be desired but you can get into them if you let yourself. If you are looking for the real ‘stuff” really great oldies 45’s, EP’s, and LP’s go to http://www.thursdays.com I do most of my collecting there and they have one of the largest selections around.
