Hi Graham
, -rabyu-T-Or-l
This morning I'm putting a package in the post with 2x 2nd edits of Jacob in case you want to give a copy
to someone else to listen to plus 2x Flute pieces (one for you and one for Rachel). We are progressing well
with a new generic single composer design, which looks rather splendid and which, as requested, doesn't
have any uniforms visible on the front, or the back probablyl I'll be able to show it to you ere long.
I have tried every suggestion you have made for improvement and have achieved most if not all. By the
way A-1 in the Air in MfaF isn't a dim 7th, there is a bed D flat in the comet against aD natural in the bass.
It's the same on Vivian Dunn's CD (ours is far better). I have also made a large number of other
improvements and I am really quite excited about this CD and hope you are too. Come back to me if you
spot anything else.
Then, when you come round to TW I hope basically to check the CD through with you and I hope it
shouldn't be necessary to do any more edits by then, though if we discover anything, I will attempt to solve
it before your very eyes. Much more important to have time for food, drink and elegant conversation.
Regarding the flute pieces, there is room for one of them on the CD, but whether it will be relevant is
debatable. Rachel could use the track for her own promo CD and as I am not involved in that, SRC could
license it to her. I haven't discussed a price yet with Andy.
Finally, Andy tells me he has tried a few more times to contact you without success. We really need to
reslove certain matters. mainly in your own interestl So PLEASE can you call Andyl! l Nothing bad, to the
contrary, in fact.
Finally finally we need Band history, your blog, player list (please check this rigorously as other DoMs in the
past have left people off by oversight) and photo of you plus one of the band and PROGRAMME NOTES.
Please email these to andydayer(aa0l. com with copies to me. Send them as you get them, so don't need to
wait until you've got the whole lot.
I think that's all for nowl
Best wishes
Mike
