Carole and I were in Nassau, Bahamas on vacation last week, and happened to meet the Nassau branch choir director, Luicito Bazard while we were there. It interesting to compare his experience building a choir with ours. Most of the choir members have not been trained to read music. He spends time teaching parts by rote. Members often move away to school, get married, and never return. It's a constant process. He needs worthy music which can be performed by untrained voices.

Carole and I came home more dedicated to publishing accessible music constructed to the highest quality standards of art and music. We believe it will happen as we educate and become more attuned spiritually. We must take caution not to be influenced by pride and tradition.
