Amen. I look forward to the time we all live the law of consecration and can write and play and teach music "for free". Until then we must be wise with our...

Bruce: It turns out that it's a chapter in a book, not a magazine article, and none of the libraries that have it are willing to loan it. BYU does have a copy...

Sorry (sort of) for getting off-topic ... but my wife's book is back from the publisher and ready to go on sale. Amazon and Barnes and Noble won't have it...
Hi! I have a Mac and tried most links. They worked for me. Maybe delete cookies and try again? That can be so frustrating, can't it! Warmly, Cindy ~~~~~~~~~ ...
I agree with Eric. Whoever gives away their music to this production is totally being taken advantage of. We need to have more respect for ourselves and our ...
I have to agree with you, Kent. While I don't think the exposure to a general audience would be great (who reads the credits?), the exposure within the local...
Amber, What is your voice type, and is there anywhere online I can go to hear your voice? I just want to make sure to place your voice correctly within the...
