What I wanted to do was put up links to instrumental midis and have ya’ll Name That Tune. The problem is that these midis are named, of course. So, if you play you’ve got to close your eyes after you hit the link and promise not to look. Ready?
There are some pretty awful versions of this song out there. This one has the name and the group in the file name, so close your eyes really, really tight.
Yeah. That’s why you gotta close your eyes. The game really should have been Worse Midi Version Ever! Sorry to those who love midis, but those things make for some really baaaaaaad music.
My apologies, Biggirl. Obviously I hadn’t finished reading the OP before I looked at the links. DUH!
BTW, I have a sizeable collection of MIDI files, mostly jazz ones, that I’ve collected over the years. Some are quite impressive, some are so-so and some are lame. I trashed the really shitty ones. As I find a better rendition of a favorite tune I scrap the older one, unless it’s also a decent version.
There are several MIDI players that will list the data about the file’s creation, including full name of tune, composer’s name, sequencer’s name and such. That way, I have been able to identify all but a handful of tunes. But there are stil a dozen or more that I’ve kept that I can’t identify. So a “name that tune” would be beneficial for me if I had some way to put the files up to the web for y’all to help with.
Zeldar, get a geocities website and upload the files. I say geocities because that’s what I use, but I’m sure there are plenty others that’ll give you some free bandwidth.
