Shawnee is a bunch af amateurs as far as I'm concerned. They are next to
printing it in Music Time, and photocopying it at the library (on a machine that
is low on toner), then selling as published music.

This is a terrific piece of music that is a worthy addition to our repertoire
and we can't even get decent stuff to play. I've played a lot from manuscript
copies as well as handwritten originals and never have I seen something such as
this, and this music was engraved!
My question is.... what if anything can be done so that this doesn't happen to
someone else and so that this piece gets the playings that it so rightfully
deserves?
Thanks for listening to me vent. That's all for now.
