[GreenKeys] Musical Teletype

[Bruce Gentry]

In the Air Force in southeast Asia, teletype maint. people would 
exchange song lyrics  and a form of sheet music.  The melody line notes 
would be named with a number to indicate the octave and an"H" after the 
note to indicate it was a sharp.  Crude, but good enough to pick out a 
tune on the piano, or transcribe to a music note book.

      Bruce Gentry, KA2IVY
