Kate (February 6, 1946 – January 18, 2010) and Anna (born December 4, 1944) McGarrigle were a duo of Canadian singer-songwriters from Quebec, who performed as a duo until Kate McGarrigle's death on January 18, 2010. Profile[edit] Their songs have been covered by a variety of artists including Maria Muldaur, Nana Mouskouri, Linda Ronstadt, Emmylou Harris, Billy Bragg, Chloé Sainte-Marie, Judy Collins, Anne Sofie von Otter and others.

The covers of their songs by well known artists led to the McGarrigles getting their first recording contract in 1974. They created ten albums from 1975 through 2008. Although associated with Quebec's anglophone community, the McGarrigles also recorded and performed many songs in French. Their version of Wade Hemsworth's song, "The Log Driver's Waltz" grew famous as the soundtrack for a 1979 animated film by Canada's National Film Board. Kate died January 18, 2010 at the age of 63 after fighting a rare form of cancer.[3][4][5] Discography[edit] Albums[edit] Zvezdnaja Serija (Duna, 2000) Folkways. Humanatone Nose Flute, Trophy Music Co. (Also called a "Humanatone") Assorted bright colors Trophy Music Co. A truly unique instrument(?) That's fun for any age. The flute is held over your nose and mouth (see 2nd pic below), you blow it through your nose (it's not as bad as it sounds from the description...).

The sound of the Nose Flute is reminiscent of a Slide Whistle, but is still very unique. As with many other wind instruments, it can also probably be improved by some "tweaking". PLEASE NOTE: The Nose Flute comes in many bright colors (Red, Blue, Orange, Green, Yellow and others). Price - $0.90 each Catalog# - 389. Julee Glaub - a voice of Ireland.

Heallabies.com. Library of scanned player piano music rolls. Century old player pianos rolls are dying. While their target player pianos can be repeatedly restored into perpetuity, the rolls cannot. It is important therefore that the content of these rolls be captured in computer form in hopes of extending their life into the foreseeable future. The process of scanning music rolls first generates a very large file, basically containing hundreds of thousands of pixels. That initial .CIS file can then converted into a .MID music file as a byproduct of the process. The files available here are the final relatively small .MID files which may be "played" through most any computer's sound card, an electronic keyboard, or in solenoid equipped pianos such as Disklavier, PianoDisc, PianoMation, and Pianocorder.

All are Midi Type 1 files, with identifying data imbeded within the "info" area through the use of CakeWalk. As an aid for owners of such pianos who wish to use my midi files, Carol Beigel has assembled a very useful web site for this purpose: and.
