[Magdalen] All Clear

[James Oppenheimer-Crawford]

Well, as a composer, I would say, "By all means DO try to sell her stuff."

It's a really cut throat business. I am in the position of writing in
styles that are not popular, and so I hesitate to put a price on my work.
I say that by God's generous grace, I have no need for extra income. So I
let out my work without charge. Charging just adds a layer of hassle, and
how much return would I get anyway?
However, whenever people find music that is free, they tend to assume it's
junk. There's a lot of junk out there too, as I find often on a couple of
pages I frequent, so I guess the assumption is understandable.

My medium is notation, not the actual performance.  I'm not getting any
traction, but I have discovered that I have been performed in Texas and New
Zealand, and that gives a lot of encouragement.

I hope that your dear one keeps on keeping on!
