Joel,

I sent you a brochure yesterday.  Wally and Vivian Brooks are going to be
with us this year, along with a few other locals.  The dates are January
7-8, 2000.

Hope to see you.

Rick


Sounds great, what's the location?  Anywhere near Tucson this year?  Donnie

>>One of our faculty has asked us to prepare our recital pianos for the Ives

implications.

>>Has anyone ever done this?
