I received a request from a friend who recently relocated to a country in South America. There she has found an orchestra of five tamburasi, all of whom are of Croatian descent, born in that country and speaking no Croatian. They are relying on CDs and tapes as sources of tambura music, and the group's teacher is scoring parts as he hears them - not a bad process, but a slow one. The request is that I scan and e-mail some song arrangements so that this orchestra can build its repertoire. Anyone else who is willing to scan some music and send it south to these people may contact me via private message at T-land, and I will reply with the e-mail location to which you may send your material. Many thanks......

Tom, is this some elaborate cover-up for a smuggling operation?

Many thanks to IMP, who has contributed a dozen complete scores........

BTW, I asked the friend in South America about the skill level of the musicians in the new band; they're good musicians, and all are readers.....
