"Pluto" dates back to 1996, probably a year before I took up MIDI. Somewhere on tape, I have a version with electric guitars and drums. But this MP3 is adapted from a 1998 MIDI version, with a lot of little changes. My brother David sequenced the percussion heard in the second part.
Interesting trivia: Pluto was named by Venetia Burney, an 11-year-old schoolgirl in Oxford, England in 1930. It was recently downgraded to a dwarf planet, or a large KBO(Kuiper belt object).
