  1. Hello Mr. Curry, thanks for your beautiful music. Our chancel choir has created a Cantata for Easter Sunday using their favorite Hymns. One of the hymns is “Sweet Rivers of Mercy”. They have asked me to write a script that will draw the music together. I am using theology and the stories behind the hymns. I have looked for the history or story which led to your writing of this beautiful piece, but have been unable to find anything. Would you be willing to share with me your inspiration. Thank you very much for your consideration.

  2. I used to favor Alfred Music for guitar learning CD’s… until they switched to MP3 formatted CDs. Like many of my fellow guitar “students” I use a TASCAM GTII CD player as it offers some great features when learning guitar riffs.. chops etc. A CD formatted in MP3 is useless.. so no “sales revenue” from us. I guess it was a business model decision on you part to no longer produce regular CD formats. I believe there is a significant market for regular CD formatted products as there is a large population of us that favor TASCAM as a learning tool. So have a nice day, without us of course as PC playback is not a great thing.

  3. good evening! can have the opportunity to purchase from you company Yamaha band student E-flat book2/3: alto saxophone with compact disk CDs?
