Thanks, Per,  I'll take that advice to heart from now on.   Actually,  I was in a hurry and had just started to get the hang of using
www.getdropbox.com,  which,  by the way,   is an awesome and convenient service once you get the hang of it <blush> and is free.
Jim Goodin hipped me to it when he posted his pictures he took of my dayglo orange set from Y2K8 (which came out fabulously, by the way).

"It would be fun to hear that toy recording! Maybe you can repost it with an internet safe file name?"

well, for the time being,   i posted it at my own website:


By the way,  watch for my next post about some experiments I'm trying with this simple little forced pentatonic instrument,  I think you might enjoy it.

On the subject of using children's toy instruments for making music, check out what The Residents did way back in 1980 with "Goosebump" 
which was done using toys from Toys R Us.  "Goosebump" is based on some classic Mother Goose nursery rhymes
and is the B-side of their "Diskomo" mini-LP (available also on CD, and "inspired" by their classic "Eskimo" LP). Definitely REVcommended!

All the best,
