ABOUT THIS SECTION
Promotion of musical works (songs, compositions, etc.) created by Dallas Branch NLAPW members (up to five per member) can be shared in this section. A link to a member's own web site may be provided if such a web site exists; if so, and if a viewer clicks the member's link, her web site is opened in a new window so the viewer can easily return here later.

Members: If you want to submit promotions of your musical work, please send email to the webmaster and request specific submission information. There is even the possibility of including a short sound clip; for an example song length, click the green door graphic below to hear an "oldie but goodie" song from 1956. (This song is not by one of our members, but is provided here as an example sound clip.)

SOUND CLIP EXAMPLE



Click the "GREEN DOOR" graphic to hear an example "sound clip" which is an .au formatted file. Any audio (sound or song) file can be played using the audio "player" plug-in software already on your computer. For example, the QuickTime, Netscape, or Windows Media Format (WMF) players are often used, but many other players may also play this audio file format correctly.

Read the words of the Green Door Song (and learn which Dallas DJ wrote it in 1956 and why).


To read the words as you hear them, first click to open the window that has the words in text; move that window to the right side of your screen. Then, click the green door to start the music playing. (You may need to re-click the window that holds the words in text if it fell behind another window.)

When you click the graphic to hear the "Green Door" song, it pops up a QuickTime (or other) player in a separate small window, and then QT immediately starts playing the song. The player window may fall behind the window with this text; in that case, move the player window so you also can see the player on your screen.

You can use the QuickTime player controls to adjust volume, stop or restart the song, and back up or move forward (by sliding the "ball" or using the arrows). You can also use the "close" button to stop the music and close the QuickTime player window at any time.

Audio File Format Note: The song is an .au formatted audio file which plays okay using QuickTime on Marilyn's Mac. If you need help making it play, let Marilyn know via email if this DOES or DOES NOT work for you and indicate your computer (Mac or PC), operating system, and audio plug-in software. Or, you may prefer to simply download the FREE QuickTime player to your computer; it can be used for multimedia - not just audio.
