Re: Quest Studios MIDI files

HighLand Productions never ripped the music from LOOM , but Tom did. Now posted: All the LOOM MIDIs I downloaded it from Tom's site in January 1998 (Tom posted them in August 1997) - one file for MT-32, and six files converted for General MIDI.

Connecting a MIDI Synthesizer to a Windows 10 computer

Re: Identifying the Piano and Victrola themes in Colonel's Bequest

Sweet! Now can we figure out which of the Gymnopedies is used for Billiard Victrola #4?
