Hi Reina,

Sorry for being late to the party but was saving the riff for when I had a
leisurely moment to read and listen. I'm so glad that you found the words to
share your joy at possessing a piece of Darin history and thank you for guiding
us laypersons through the intricacies of the orchestral score. It was indeed
enlightening and does much to enhance the listening pleasure of the recording.

Interestingly enough, on this Vegas trip, I happened to ask Bobby Rozario about
Darin's relationship with Billy May because i had read somewhere that there had
been some friction but Rozie said that "it was wonderful. They were both
musicians and had respect for each other".

Thank you for sharing your riff with us and I'm delighted to read that Max is
interested in exploring publication of your writings with you. Good things
happen!
