[BC] two things (one bit of news, one request for assistance)

[Mike McCarthy]

Yikes...a really intense drummer gone.  Sad.

As for Music Master, I would suggest he subscribe to the company's support 
service.  If he has an old version, it's likely some quirk has been 
addressed.  The support cost isn't all that bad considering the 
complexities of the program.
