| | | | | | This book is entirely dedicated to The Chezlee, Ont., Parsnip and Arts Fest Central Committee and specifically Edna, Laverne, Uneida, Clevinia, Flo, Wilma and Percival (the current members). | | | | | | | | | (Flo and Wilma couldn't be fitted in!) | | | | | | | | | We are blessed in Chezlee, Ont., with their support and encouragement of the performance of musical works by living composers (like myself, the Maestro and Ronnie Fludd, for example). | | | | | | | | | Asparagus growers, rutabaga distributors, pea-fowl farmers, and emuburger franchise owners from the environs (to name but a few) eagerly come to the Four Square Gospel Hall on a bimonthly basis, to hear premi res (and the oh-so-necessary seconderri res of new works. Their comments and reactions, their items tossed (from cabbages to carnations) are invaluable contributions to the growth of LIVE and MODERN music in the Chezlee, Ont., milieu. | | | | | | | | | Without the undying support of the Central Committee, none of this would happen and many of us living composers would remain unsung, unheard and unpaid and would be forced financially to seek employment as furrowers, or balers, or stall-muckers, much to our chagrin. | | | | | | | | | So thanks to the lovely ladies mentioned above (plus Percival) for your contribution to the ongoing development of the pervue of St. Cecilia namely, MUSIC! | | | | |
