Recently, I awoke from an unusual dream with a memory and a mission.  In the dream, I was playing a Commodore 64 song version of Tubular Bells.  I got up, and went to the computer.  With the help of Google, I started looking for it.   For those of you old enough to have lived through the C64 craze, Tubular Bells was one of 9 songs that made up SYNTH SAMPLE, an AMAZING (at the time) piece of music, that started circulating the BBS's in the late 80s.  In it's day, the C64 was a great computer musician, but these 9 songs were not part of a game or anything.  We didn't know what they were.  They just appeared in one stand alone program with no credit or purpose.... but they were a hit. 

I listened to it over and over and over as a young teen.  When Halloween came, I even played one of the tunes out my window all night, because it was a song used in some horror film.  The Exorcist I think.

Thanks to the Internet and Google, I found a Windows version online that retains the original quality and memory.  It's a SID file, so it'll need a special player.  The SID files contains all nine songs in one file.
