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...
I just received this response regarding "The Unknown Grave" by David Hyrum Smith from Dr. Richard Clothier, Emeritus Professor of Music at Graceland College in...
Not that this excuses not paying for music, but this is a two-man production. One guy on the camera and one guy at the microphone. So was the first American...

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 ~~~~~~~~~ ...

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...
