I appreciated receiving your catalog. I have ordered some music "sound unheard" (rather like "sight unseen"), but I REALLY appreciated the folks with Brassworks 4 putting out CDs of all (most) of their arrangements. This lets our group check out the song for playability, "listen-ability", etc. in advance. In the realm of sacred music, David E. Smith publishing does have a return policy, but I can understand why most folks would not want to do this. If you can't accept music returns, then the ability to hear the arrangements befor buying is a big asset.
(and, being on your humor distribution list is also a big asset -- thanks!)
