  If you are reading this right now PLEASE send me some mail because I
dont think there are going to be too many people who want to know how to
play this song, much less anyone who has even heard it...  It is a cool
song though...so if you use this I will know my work was not in vein...
Thanks!

  Start to Fade out...

I think I put too much time into this one and I am pretty sure I didn't
miss anything. I could have simplified it, but I just love to make
things complicated. Like i said, if you read this please mail me, I'd
love to hear from you.
