Someone suggested buying this book in order to work on trills.  I went to my music store today and they had it!    The sticker on it was so old and it was $6.50.  It's been in the store for years!  Does anyone else recommend this exercise book?  It looks difficult, but I just got it today and haven't had a chance to delve into it.

Last week when I was there, I bought a Gottschalk piece that has been in the store for over 20 years or so and it was $2.95!  It was the Souvenir de la Havane, but I wanted the one from Puerto Rico (wish list someday).  I bought it anyway because it was so pretty; the paper it was printed on and everything -- such high quality!  Copyright is 1983!  I just love looking at it.  It was published by WmHall & Son 543 Broadway.  I felt like I hit the jackpot at a garage sale! 8)

I wear my heart on my sleeve.  Don't touch my shirt!  Coined by yours truly, flyinfingers
