Obviously, he was smart to do this. (I wonder how much of "Amadeus" might be
true, or is all 100% conjecture?) Damn shame that he (or someone? His
wife?) lost the mms to k622. Just think of all the conversations we might
not have if it had stayed with his other music. <g> Of course, if he had
Finale, he could have just dashed off a few extra copies that were exactly
the same. <g> And I know all of this is foolish conjecture. Strange things
wander through the mind on Friday nights.
