To all SynthZone friends and colleagues of the Jaybirds Playalongs:

It is with great joy, but also with great sadness, that we announce today that Cees has now posted the last three Playalongs from the Jaybirds on his fabulous KESO web site (http://www.keso.nl/). These final three songs are all original compositions by the Yankee Jaybird, Ted Rose, and we hope you will enjoy them.

The first three Jaybirds Playalongs were uploaded by Cees on 20 April 2005, just over two years ago, and since then we have produced a grand total of 38 (including two Christmas specials). Of the total, 18 of the 38 were new songs, composed especially for the Playalongs by either Ted or Colin, or sometimes both of them in collaboration with each other. There are 25 of the first series of Playalongs, 8 Double Take Playalongs, 2 Christmas specials and the final three Playalongs posted now. We sincerely hope you have enjoyed some or all of them as much as we enjoyed preparing them for you.

As always, your comments and suggestions are welcome, posted either here on the SynthZone site or in individual messages to each or any or all of the Jaybirds via e-mail.

May we end this message by giving a very public thank you to Cees for providing this venue for our presesntations on his wonderful web site (http://www.keso.nl/).

Thank you all from

The Jaybirds

Dear Joyce, Joy, Colin and Ted (The Jaybirds!),
it was an honor to have you all on KESO. The worldwide production team (England, New Zealand, USA and the Netherlands) is a good example how people who shares the same hobby (music) can work together. It was a great pleasure to work with you all. The inheritance of the Jaybirds is a beautiful collection of Play-alongs. New KN7000 owners who discover the internet still can enjoy your music and lyrics by downloading the songs from KESO.
Best to you and yours,
Cees

Jaybirds,

Thank you for your wonderful presentations and the talent to compose original songs. I have your complete collection and will enjoy for many years to come.
