Here's the tag that you're using:

<.EMBED SRC="anniversarywaltz.mid" HIDDEN="TRUE" AUTOSTART="TRUE"
STARTTIME="00.10" ENDTIME="00.30" WIDTH=142 HEIGHT=58><./EMBED>

This states that a file named 'anniversarywaltz.mid' can be found in the
same directory as the one the page was loaded from. If you've moved the
midi file, you have to change the tag. Since you say you've moved it to
the misc_html directory, you'll have to use this syntax:

<.EMBED
SRC="http://freepages.rootsweb.com/~ourfolkstales/anniversarywaltz.mid";
HIDDEN="TRUE" AUTOSTART="TRUE" STARTTIME="00.10" ENDTIME="00.30" WIDTH=142
HEIGHT=58><./EMBED>

*AND* (here Elsi gets back on her soapbox) your tag states that the control
panel for the midi player is hidden and the music is supposed to start
playing automatically. I don't like this as I've stated many times. I
might like to sample your music, but when and if I want to. I don't want
to have it forced on me just because I might be interested in your Rebecca
Lewis to see if she fits into my Lewis line.
