Don Gray Arrangements

 

    Dear Barbershopper:

    I get a kick when a competent group performs one of my charts. And I don't charge for them...ever! My only request is that you send me an email at dongray@cinci.rr.com. Some of these arrangements are in a computer file, so if you really need a tape (of the notes only) also, then say so. It's my practice to send out only two arrangements, max., at a time, because I'm not in the business of contributing to "private libraries". To get additional songs, I ask that you either (1) send me a note as to why you couldn't use the ones I sent you; or (2) send me a tape of your singing them (I might be able to offer some performance suggestions).

    MUSICally,

    Don Gray
