Thanks guys ... it took many months to notate the 27 songs we did, with Mario singing and me picking out the melody on the KB, then playing it into Notation composer ...
Then trying to get the best style to portray the song as Mario wanted it on mp3 ... a lot of work, but very rewarding ...
Mario actually thought he had lost all his music (lead sheets with lyrics, and some with chords) due to a flood in his home when RI was hit with some very heavy rains a number of years ago ... One day while still cleaning out some of the stuff, he found this box with all his songs in it ... they were very wet, but he took them sheet by sheet and spread them out to dry ... Amazingly, during the flood his oil tank sprung a leak and spilled a couple of hundred gallons of oil into the basement as well ... it may have been the oil in the water that protected the ink on the paper from running ...
