We’ve got a rough sketch of the Morgan M Morgansen score. We’d like to add more pieces (like you!) to the hitREChorchestra. Come join - especially if you play piano or strings. Even if you don’t play those, the score-meister is asking to work with you… tell him what you play and he wants to integrate you. integration is the sincerest form of flattery. What do you play?
