well, as you all see, there isn't much on what you guys have to work on this time.
this is so because many of the parts for noah's ark are basically what you all are already supposed to have written down in your score.
whatever is repeated will not be here.
and as usual, i dont see many pencils around.
well, 12 days only.
and in just a few hours time, it will be 11 days.
i'll see what i can do to force you people to bring a pencil with you.
