Until you know everything about the situation, wait to make accusations.
Have you ever heard of a CD Burner? You can buy them at most computer
stores. If you then go to an electronics store, you can buy yourself a
microphone. The combination of these two things and a computer can enabel
any idiot to make a cd of him/herself. You do not need to be a pro to be on
a cd, all you need is a love of computers.

As for obtaining the parts for this, I would love to get them from my
friend. Unfortunatley he passed away, hence I am no longer able to get the
parts from him. If I knew he was not going to be around, I would have
gotten the score when we were making the recording. I appreciate your concern.

Thanks,
Ryan Lowe
