Labour of Love

Posted By Smudew on August 18, 2009

When I started this journey to update the website, I really thought that I was going to do something like; “Off with the Old, On with the New” kind of thing. I am thirteen years older than when I originally set up Smick and Smodoo’s World in 1996 … I have different interests now … I don’t have any wee folk running around the house anymore … I didn’t “just” get married … etc…, etc… Another reason I thought I would not be updating the music part was because I have Microsoft Vista on my computer, and, to put it quite frankly, the midi’s sound horrible on Vista. Microsoft, in their infinite wisdom, removed all the midi stuff from Vista. Isn’t that nice?

But as I have been re-doing the site, I have found a few programs which return the midi files to their previous glory (or something close), so I am finding myself falling in love with them all over again! It is really wonderful.

Another aspect of this journey is that I just lost my beloved little Mama. She was one of my two best friends and I miss her everyday! She gave me the gift of her music, she gave me the love for music and as I am doing the songs over and adding the sing-a-longs, I can hear her sweet voice.

So, what I originally thought was going to be something agonizing is turning into a Labour of Love.
