Hallo, Reinhard

Hev mi de Nett-Siet ankeken. Dar hev ik al lang op töövt. Nu bün ik darbi,
uut dat Midi-file 'n Karaoke-file to maken. Wenn allens good geit, denn
wüllt wi mit
'n paar Fründen versöken, düt Leed to de Jaarswenn antostimmen.

Ik wünsch allens Beste för't nee'e Jaar

H. Geist

Och, Harald! Daar höög' ick mie basig to.  'n Karaoke-File willst daar uut
maken?!  Ick wüss gaarnich, dat dat gait.  Tja, ick wull ick kunn as 'n
Fleeg' up de Wand or as 'n Muus in't Lock an'n Fasselavend mit daar bie
wesen (avers so'n Aastüüg hebbt Jie sachs gaarnich in't Huus).  Denn
vertell maal in't neje Jaar, wat daar bie ruutsuurt is.

Folks, Harald wrote that he will change the midi file into a karaoke file
(and I didn't even know this was possible), and he and a few friends will
try to sing the Low Saxon (Low German) translation and/or (?) the original
Scots version of "Auld Lang Syne"
(http://www.geocities.com/sassisch/auld_lang_syne.htm) with friends.  I
feel tickled pink ... and I expect a full report.

Gröten/Regards,
Reinhard/Ron
