Ha ha, don’t really love all the latest, “supposedly greatest”, – my feeling is if it works, why “fix it”. Joke is on me. The technology world is fabulous, BUT ——- not a fan of “constant change”. There are reasons, I am sure – and I definitely can’t figure it all out, but do we be thankful for the new or complain??!!! Probably some of both. We definitely don’t want to go back to “no technology”. Like everything else, it can be “for good” or ??? I as one, cannot fight it, and that would accomplish much wasted time. I THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart for “sharing your music” with the world! I will always play your songs for primary and Sacrament Meeting prelude, postlude!!! You and your talents are gifts to us all!!! You have blessed many of us!

Heavenly Father blessed you with unusually outstanding musical talents and you, in turn, have blessed us. Thank you.

(Didn’t Gene Wilder as Willie Wonka say that? “You need to go forward to go back.”) I love your beautiful music, I will be PDFing my favorites. Bless you for sharing your talents with the world.

Your spiritual beauty, and your gift of giving, make a truly rich present for all to have. I have enjoyed your offerings for many years, and they are also an incentive fpr my composing attempts. Love to all who make these gifts possible.

We have used your music pieces for our church choir many times. We are a small church and do not have a music budget.

His only complaint is that the British program will label things differently (bars vs. measures). His favorite part is that you can hear it as you are entering the notes into the program. He had Finale at one time, too, but also found it really unfriendly. He also tried Cake Walk, but didn’t care for it, either. Anyway, thought I would pass that along. As someone whose job of 35 years encountered lots of computer changes and upgrades, I know how annoying it is to get up to speed on an unfamiliar program. But, look at it as a way to keep your gray cells up and running! No matter how your music finally sees the light of day, it will be enjoyed and touching to so many! Carry on.

DeFord, Thank you for sharing so unselfishly your inspiring music and great talent over these many years. Your music has blessed the lives of countless numbers and will continue to do so for many years to come. The divine gift of music comes from a loving Heavenly Father. Bless you for using that gift to bless and inspire all of us.
