To be more specific, your attachment is the HTML file that you get when attempting to download a Musipedia search result quite a while after doing the search.
Search results are automatically deleted after a while in order to remove clutter from the server.
To try again, you can repeat the search and save the MIDI file right after performing the search.
Sorry about the inconvenience.

Your attachment is not a MIDI file, but rather an HTML file (with no MIDI in it). Same for your earlier post. Please try again. - Tom

Subject: 1970s PBS TV Song
My first post - hope this is ok for here. I have already entered a melody and was delighted to find it's already been identified here in the forums as "J'ai vu le renard"
Link - http://tinyurl.com/2myyor
So here's my question - I was in first or second grade in the 70s when the teacher (I think music class) brought in a VTR machine with a PBS-type children's show. This melody has stuck in my head to this day (30 years ago) so much that I was able to play it by ear easily today. So now, on to the question:
I'm trying to remember the details on the show itself. I'm assuming it was a music education type show. I think maybe there was an African American woman who hosted, played piano and sang. The lyrics may or may not have been French to the song. I seem to remember the host telling part of a story then illustrating the story by repeatedly singing this theme.
I also vaguely remember her singing a "please stand up" and "please sit down" command to the melody Sol, Sol, Do. This may be a different early memory I'm confusing. Since these shows were sometimes regionally produced, this was on the east side of Cleveland right around '75.
Attaching the midi to this message. Thanks!

How to insert music:
Add a bit of sheet music, along with a MIDI file, simply by entering note names in Lilypond syntax between the [L] and [/L] tags.
For example, you can try what happens if you enter: [l]g'4 g'4 d''4 d''4 e''4 e''4 d''2[/l] (use the Preview function if you don't actually want to post this).
You can create these lists of note names by clicking on piano keys here.
How to post an audio recording:
If you just want to sing, whistle, or play a melody so that other forum visitors can hear it, follow these steps:
- Record your audio here.
- You should notice a 32-character hash code, something like: 2a40281c5001c5a7d8c9f57fcdeccfaf
- copy this hash code and paste it into a forum post, enclosed in the audio tags, for example: [audio]2a40281c5001c5a7d8c9f57fcdeccfaf[/audio]
How to mark a thread as solved:
If the original question in a thread is solved, please mark it as solved using the "solved" icon (or by just typing [solved] into your post). This makes life easier for people who are willing to identify melodies, since unsolved problems are easier to spot that way. If a problem turns out to not be solved after all, just write [/solved] in a new post, and the thread will be labeled accordingly.
