Hi Susan,
That's great! Thanks for letting me know. I'm so glad that the response has been so much that you can write a paper on it. I'd be very interested to read that.
Sorry the other two works didn't play. I will have another go at sending them when I have a bit of time.
All best wishes,
Rob

Hi Robert,
I downloaded your work a couple of days ago and had the pleasure of
listening to Need Without Reason. I hope to play it this Friday on my radio
show, on Radio New Zealand Concert, our national radio program. However, if
I am unable, mainly because I try to play VERY contrasting works, I will
certainly alert the listeners to your work and where it can be found.
My little quest has turned into a HUGE one! I got such a fantastic response
that I'm going to write a paper on it for ICMA!
For some reason, your other works don't play on my system, and now the
yousendit has expired. (I shouldn't have left it to the last moment!)
Well never mind. It you have a chance, and have some spare time, you could
send them again. Otherwise, when I do the paper, I'll be back in touch.
Thanks for your work,
agape, susan
