**************** IMPORTANT ******************

I upload a fair amount of my MIDI compositions
 but generally try to avoid attaching text
 messages. Most of the stuff I put up is self-
 explanatory - if not, I'm not doing it right.

The enclosed song - Space Oddity -
 contains some special effects. Specfically,     
 track 11 contains some cymbals and then 
 the sound of a space ship launching (or some
 approximation thereof). The cymbals are meant
 to replace the spoken countdown in David 
 Bowie's original song. These events play over
 channel 10.

If you have an LAPC or MT-32, you're fine. If
 not, find and replace the following notes
 in track 11 with the best equivalent that you
 have:

     Note 93 - Jet
          95 - Starship
          99 - Explosion

If you eliminate these altogether, you may want
 to just merge tracks 11 and 10 together since
 the only other sound on 11 is the cymbal.

Enjoy the song.
