AOL Issues?
Dear Friends, We’ve noticed that some of our customers with email addresses at aol.com haven’t been getting their download links after making purchases. So far, we’ve established that the problem appears to be due to AOL’s thinking that those emails are something they should block. We’ve asked our Internet Service Provider to look into this …

More Music!
If you haven’t heard, Above the Line Publishing has decided to call it quits. However, their catalog of music isn’t going away! I’ve moved quite a few titles to Choraegus. Most of them are for a full-sized handbell choir; there are a few ensemble pieces and solos as well – do take a look! A …

Friends
I’ve come to think of my handbell compositions/arrangements as friends after a fashion. We’ve spent a lot of time together, and we know each other quite well. (Well… at least I know them quite well!). Sometimes it’s a bit of a wrench to let them live somewhere else, as in another publisher. But at least …

For those of you with Yahoo email accounts…
We’ve noticed that some of our customers who have email accounts at yahoo.com are having to wait as much as several days for their download links to arrive. It appears that our e-store is sending the links immediately after purchase, so we’re trying to contact Yahoo to ask for their help in figuring out what’s …

Take the Name of Jesus with You – the Standard Eight-Bell Version!
Sometimes we release the “Surprisingly Easy”™ version of an eight-bell score really quickly, and then it takes a bit longer to arrange or learn the “standard” (whatever that actually means) arrangement. Sometimes it happens in the other order, too – it often just depends on which one came together properly first. Take the Name of …
