Formerly "Today's
Praise and Worship Music in MIDI Format"
NewSong
Online would like to apologize for any inconvenience but Abana
Praise & Worship MIDI will not be posting midis anymore... Times &
laws have changed. The below emails from February 28, 2003 will explain what's
going on here. As you may already know, when reading an email with many replies,
you need to start at the bottom and work your way up.
If
I have any midis posted here that you own the copyright on let me know and I'll
gladly remove them. Research
this issue out if you have any questions. http://www.google.com/search?q=midi+copyright+law
WE
WILL BE OFFERING A COMPLETE COLLECTION OF ALL THE MIDIS FROM ALL THE NSO MIDI
SITES ALONG WITH ALL THE VIDEOS FROM THE CCM VIDEO MEGA SITE ON ONE CD FOR
$10.00 PLUS S&H TO THOSE WHO WOULD LIKE THIS FOR THEIR PRIVATE HOME USE.
TO
RESERVE YOUR COPY & MORE INFO SEND AN EMAIL TO CD@NEWSONGONLINE.ORG WITH
CD OFFER IN THE SUBJECT LINE, QUANTITIES ARE LIMITED AND ARE ON A FIRST COME FIRST
SERVE BASIS. There
are approx. 2,000 midis organized by genre including 35 Patriotic midis &
over 200 videos. As a free bonus The New Testament & Psalms in MP3 format
will also be included.

Hi again,
I'm
not sure which email you want to use -- mine or yours -- but it's fine to do so.
Please don't include my email address, if it is one of my letters, as I'm quite
ill and homebound with diabetic complications. Thank you for being so godly, even
in the original shock this morning.
God
bless you, Linda
