Tech Notes:  This will ONLY play correctly on a 100% SoundCanvas.  The
file uses alot of MIDI SYSEX to change waveform envelopes etc, so if the
waves are not EXACTLY like the SC-55 mkII then some things may sound a
little different.  Infact it may not sound quite right on a SC88 even.

Description: This is a little song I put together for the Sound Canvas
Users Group theme project.  The theme consisted of 7 notes: C G G G F G C.
If you listen I'm sure you'll here the theme many times.  It is mostly
in the bass riff, and later on with the piano.

It is a New Age / Ambient piece.  I did it for a bit of fun and
hopefully to have a "different style of song" in the theme submissions.
The song represents the passing of a thunder storm.

I found this very difficult to do, as I've never composed ONLY for the
SoundCanvas before.  I usually use my XP-50 and JV-80, and use the SC
for fill in sounds.  I felt crippled using just one module, but I'm glad
I did it.

Unfortunatly I ran out of time so I finished it off in a hurry.  I would
have liked it to go on for a bit longer as I had a few new ideas, and
there are lots of bits that need cleaning up, but I thought I'd better
cut my losses and just submit it!
