"That's what sons are for - they come round and "borrow" your music, and pretty soon that lost sheet music is at the top of the pile!"

PS-I like your videos, and boy, you can sure make that "simple upright" of yours' sing. Thanks again.
Thank you for creating mfiles and for sharing your videos. I appreciate what you're doing very much, as we often need to buy large, expensive books to find many of the classical pieces you offer. I just downloaded and learned Byrd's "Pavan, Earl of Salisbury" from your file and I will play it soon for the camera. It would have taken me much longer to find it had it not been for you. I printed it out in poster paper so I now have a sturdy copy that is easy to stand up against any surface and is easy to carry around wherever I go. Thanks.
