Last revision of this page was October 26, 2008. This site was written in order to learn HTML and play with colors, graphics and formatting, even though I got a little carried away with the music. I tried to reference all music sources, graphics sources and MIDI sequencers. If I missed some, please write to Mary Tipton,
%tipton$bardstown.com. (replace the % with an m and the $ sign with an @ sign.)

Youtube Finds

(These links come and go quickly, mostly due to copyright issues. I look for more problems with music on youtube in the future. Here is a link about ASCAP suing venues who play recorded music in public, 8/1/2007.)
