Testing the Guesbook
Ok, then. I have yet to find any simple guestbook, so Guru is going the blog route. Post away.

Hey Paul,
Remember a dude named Tom Cortese from the PLATO music group? If not, then I guess I found the wrong person (sorry!); if so, then howdy!
I ended up being a parallel programming person, part of a group called the Innovative Computing Lab (part of the University of Tennessee, Knoxville), but am also keeping the fingers busy on the piano (though no active gigs at the moment *sigh*).
In the past several years I have become somewhat of a collector of Novelty piano music (harmonically and rhythmically more complex than ragtime, yet mostly written out, unlike jazz), and I remember a million or so years ago you let me borrow (and I copied) a folio of music by Jaroslav Jezek (starting with "Bugatti Step").
Well, in between then and now, I have managed to find only one more piano score; it is as if the "Czechoslovokian Gershwin" never existed outside of Prague.
I did manage to get a DVD of "Tmavodry Svet", which features some of his music, as well as finding an LP from the liberated theatre (dialogue in Czech, so I have no idea what they're saying) and a CD of some of his orchestral recordings, but that's about it.
So, along with all the "howzit going, whatcha been up to, etc..." questions, I was also curious to know if you had any other piano music by this rather elusive character lying around...
In any event, take care!
