Lights, camera, music! Welcome to GEnie LiveWire's
annual music edition. You're in for a toe-tapping
treat if your computer has sound-generating
hardware. Along with some standard musical
favorites, by clicking on the Music Icon throughout
this issue you can hear two original musical
compositions by Scott Garrigus. "NewJazz" and
"CyberJam" will convince you that Scotty knows what
he's talking about in our feature story, The Sound
of GEnie, which he also wrote for this issue.
  
If you'd like to get into the sound part of today's
multimedia revolution, be sure to see the section
about your favorite Computing RoundTable. You'll
find musical suggestions and files described there
that you can download to get started. And, if
you're already a maestro, you may discover musical
files and utilities you didn't realize were
available online.
  
Trick or Treat!

For some All Hallows Eve action, see Haunting
Experiences for tips about GEnie fun online during
October. You could win valuable prizes by
participating in our Scavenger Hunt and Monster
March. You'll also find some delightfully ghoulish
Halloween files described there.
  
There's no need to resort to pen or pencil to make
notes on any of the files described in LiveWire.
Just print out this month's FileFinder.
LW9410FF.TXT (FF for FileFinder) is included
separately in the archive with the multimedia
issues and contains the names and online locations
of every file mentioned in our stories this month.
It's built right into the text-only issues, so
check the Contents page if that's what you're
reading.
  
Happy Birthday to Us

We'll have an interview with GEnie's new President,
