Folks and especially Randy Cabell,

         I've recently learned how to make instructional applications in
Macromedia Flash. This allows me to include graphics, animations plus a
sound track which is compressed to a 1/10 the size of the original wave
file. I've been experimenting with playing the music low and narrating over
the music. I'd like to start converting my current Famous American pages at
http://www.educationalsynthesis.org/famamer to Flash presentations so that
primary children don't need someone to read the information to them. I'd
like to use appropriate background music.

         Would the Sailor's Hornpipe be appropriate background for
Christopher Columbus? I have some Native American CD's with interesting
drums. Would that be good for Pocahontas? What music could represent her
visit to the Court of England? What about George Washington? Would Yankee
Doodle be good, or can you suggest some other lively music from his time?
I'm kinda partial to midi music, but suggestions for CD's are welcome as well.

         If someone knows of a good music history site that can provide
help on this project, I'd appreciate it as well.

         Thanks for your consideration and help.

                                         Anne
