Dear Mr. Draves,

Thank you so much for your wonderful presentation today.

In regards to the Daisy Bell song (A bicycle built for two) here are a few links regarding the version of the song that was created in 1961. As I had mentioned, this is one of the earliest, and most famous examples of the use of a computer to synthesize a human voice. It had a huge impact in the field of computer music, and was included in 2001: A Space Odyssey.

The first two links lead to copies of the song (and they're free!)
