Thanks! Benjamin Tubb is one of my inspirtation who leads me into the area of 19th century music. Myself is doing more or less the same thing, also transcribing old song into MIDI, though he has already transcribed many important pieces. I would never get the fame as much as him (he works as early as 2000s when Internet content was not that much)
【We Sat By the River】 Thank you. Never been that good!
