Re: Pauses in GLloydV1.zip / GLloydV2.zip files

2002-04-26 by mcgregor2play

I don't monitor this group as closely as I used to, so sorry for the 
tardy response to several posts.  I was the one who uploaded the 
Gary Lloyd files in ESEQ format.  I was not aware of any gaps in the 
songs, but would be willing to try to correct them and re-upload if 
you will identify the songs for me.

I have since made up a batch that I call "The Best of Gary Lloyd."  
I realized that I did not care for several of the songs.  I also 
separated the Charlie Brown selections because they seemed to go 
together as a st (and I don't like to listen to them as often). If 
there is interest I can upload the Best of... set.

Dave, if you want to pursue the corrections, email me directly at 
mcgregor@....
