Mr.Edwards: Please consider having the roster in 2010 to include more a capella music,madrigals and leider{has anybody ever heard of Schubert?!}.Oh and please consider folk songs in English for us, to go with the soul concert.Thank you very much for doing the SOUL concerts.Also please know that Jazz is tedious and very very hard. Notes that get lost bother me because I know they are somewhere freaked out. I know that you tolerate improvisations because of your jazzy background and so I tread lightly here but please go easy with the jazzed up stuff.It overwhelms me so much that I have to take several mental breaks to overcome confusion and anxious terror.When instruments are included it is like getting punched in the stomach by a best friend!Oh and I forgot to ask for one more thing. Why don't you create a choral piece for us to sing. I mean I know you have probably done so before but why can't you create something for us to do for example: 5-6 part harmony that starts out in a major key where the middle is in a minor key and then the end is back in a major key but not ending the way it started like life.Then publish it {if you mail a copy to yourself and keep it in the sealed envelope it is proof that you published it}.Just a few thoughts nothing more...
