That is truly horrifying. Not sure whether to laugh or cry, or to trade in all 
my various musical instruments for a shotgun.

I love it that the SongSmith web site makes a big deal of it's use in the 
classroom. What exactly is its contribution to learning? Presumably it is to 
teach the idea that we can all achieve everything we want in life simply by 
pressing a couple of buttons?

OK, grumpy old luddite moment over. Perhaps I should retire for all time to a 
hermitage and spend the rest of my days banging away (in 7/4) on a battered old 
xylopnone.
