Hello Wayne,

I'm glad this piece caught your interest; you did a brilliant reading of it! Your recording is PL OK! Thank you so much for your contribution! We will miss your recordings during your absence and I hope to see you back some time. Take care

I know you are really busy, but if you could post and PL this soon it would be greatly appreciated. We are leaving and less than a week for an extended period of time (7 months), so if you could get to this it would be fabulous.

Wayne
