How are you, Derek!

You have know idea, how am I glad to read your post!

I knew that. Being a member of the Bay Area Accordion Club, I've heard "Tango of the Roses" there. And then a couple of years after, I've got the chance to hear it again at Cotati Accordion Festival, which is occurs annually at the last weekend of August in Bay Area.

And also I knew you're going to say this:

I have no hard feelings toward you Alek so please do not be afraid to post your comments to me in the future...

The REAL professional musician cannot be abused by my words, unless... he is selfish, ambitious jerk! I was trying to be as forthcoming as I can be...
Actually, all of your explanations understood. I could blame the administration of the site, which was allowed to publish unprepared, "raw" file, but I won't. Because I've learned my lesson: "Be politically correct. Do not say the truth!"
Unfortunately, POLITICAL CORRECTNESS, or whatever you're call it, is a pandemic disease now. Especially in the United States...

If you look at what I wrote before I did state that I wrote for a group of SENIORS...

Tell me, please, Derek, where I can see your arrangements and compositions? Could you give me some links, my friend, or midi's?

I wish you many new Victories on accordion competition with your ensemble. And I authorized you to use FREE any of my arrangements you can find here, on "Accordion" page. And more than that: I'm going to help you to arrange it to the band!

God bless you, Derek Sanders.
Kombrig.
