Questions for the list:

1) How do you feel about the use of ABC notation ?

My own answer to my own question:  Though it isn't my
favorite way of writing down melodies, it's one of
the simplest for electronic communications.

2) I think this melody  has been recorded somewhere.  I remember
hearing it, but I can't remember where.  Does anyone know ?
