    Apart from the copy I received directly from the author years ago, 
you're not likely to find it anywhere. It should be fine to distribute, I 
dug up my old mail spool archive and confirmed that Jimmy didn't 
mind it being shared.

    It's an 11K program that runs on both the IIe and IIgs and supports
playback through a hardware ALF or compatible (Phasor, Echo II,
Mockingboard, etc). When run on a IIgs it uses the Ensoniq for
emulation of the card. I also have 7 (800K) disks packed with ALF 
songs if anyone is interested.

    The question is, where is the best place to distribute this? Is the
Ground FTP site still accepting and sorting software uploads?
