Hello!A while ago Marc S. sent me a box of Turner's monthly things to rescan. These were previously offered on the late Hal Allert's Classic Banjo website that is now gone. The scans on his old website was really what got me going in the classic…See More
"I'm a Musescore user too, though I don't really use the midi feature beyond input reference."
"Like Jody, I'm not looking for the best sound, just something where I can hear the tune. Musescore has a pretty good Grand Piano midi sound, at least here on these speakers.

"Well done, Dante!
I also appreciated the piano work. Very good accompanist and very complementary to your performance...that is sadly rare these days.
I hope we hear more from you. Perhaps some banjo duets with Mr. Aaron?"
