I like this idea.  But I'm inthe same boat.  I can hear Wav files, I
think, but the only thing I know how to record is a Macintosh sound file,
whatever you call those.  Anyways, I like the idea of having some samples
of music.  Especially if somebody can play some 1st position, or any
position other than second for that matter, blues, since I don't know much
outside of cross harp.
