Magnificent Masters of Music
by Herb Parker, Jr.
This is one of the BEST products I have come across in a long time!! I am excited about this one. A friend showed me a tape that her children had had for years, and she said they kept telling her to tell me that I should carry it. Well, finding the source took me several months, but it was well worth the trouble -- and I think you will think so too!
