It is a mammoth task, even though Curtis Swift is transcribing them to begin with, I find I am doing a lot of editing as I have to go back to his MIDI files so I can do the transpositions to Eb/Bb as appropriate. I'm also finding ways to notate differently to get them easier to read than his originals, which also have a couple of inaccuracies.

Please let me know any issues, I just realised I uploaded everything without actually checking the backing tracks.

I will as soon as I get them.

btw, What's a Big Birl ? Freudian slip? (typo on the web page).

Haha. Yes.

I did, but didn't see it as my spam filter trapped it. Only mentioning it in case others have the problem...

Now to unzip and find the Big Birl. I'm really looking forward to this.

PC side looks good - all the tracks play (sounds great!!!) and the pdf is good.

Not sure about the mac side - I got the files, but each had a length of 1K. pdf wouldn't open, even the mp3s wouldn't play. Could be that I'm unzipping on a pc. Need to get a mac guy to check those out.

Comment on the .pdf - would help if there were page numbers in it, so that when you just want to print a single part, it's easy to select the right pages.

Sorry Pete, I meant the rest of the orders. Am looking forward to the rest of the playalongs as well, but I understand the time involved.
